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 wilt thou forget me, O LORD? 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 my 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 LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of 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; [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 to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
