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, Adonai? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

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

Behold, and answer me, Adonai, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

But I trust in your chesed ·loving-kindness·. My heart rejoices in your yishu'ah ·salvation·.

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

I will sing to Adonai, because he has been good to me.
