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?

Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

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 must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

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

Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

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

Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

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

But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

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

Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
