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?

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! 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 have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

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

Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;

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

That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.

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

But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of thy salvation:

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

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