Psalms 13

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, Jehovah? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

How long, Adonai? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph 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, and answer me, Jehovah, my God. Give light to 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 have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

5 But I trust in your loving 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 will sing to Jehovah, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of Jehovah Most High.

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