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?

In finem. Psalmus David. Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a 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?

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?

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

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?

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

Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;

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

nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;

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

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
