Psalms 13

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your face from me?

How long wilt thou forget me, O Yhwh? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Consider and hear me, O Yhwh my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest my enemy say, “I overcame him,” My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 And I have trusted in Your kindness, My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I sing to YHWH, For He has conferred benefits on me!

I will sing unto Yhwh, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
