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?

לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃

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?

עַד־אָ֣נָה יְ֭הוָה תִּשְׁכָּחֵ֣נִי נֶ֑צַח עַד־אָ֓נָה ׀ תַּסְתִּ֖יר אֶת־פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

3 Look, and answer me, Jehovah, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

עַד־אָ֨נָה אָשִׁ֪ית עֵצֹ֡ות בְּנַפְשִׁ֗י יָגֹ֣ון בִּלְבָבִ֣י יֹומָ֑ם עַד־אָ֓נָה ׀ יָר֖וּם אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃

4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

הַבִּ֣יטָֽה עֲ֭נֵנִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י הָאִ֥ירָה עֵ֝ינַ֗י פֶּן־אִישַׁ֥ן הַמָּֽוֶת׃

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

פֶּן־יֹאמַ֣ר אֹיְבִ֣י יְכָלְתִּ֑יו צָרַ֥י יָ֝גִ֗ילוּ כִּ֣י אֶמֹּֽוט׃

6 I will sing to Jehovah, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of Jehovah Most High.

וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ֣ בָטַחְתִּי֮ יָ֤גֵ֥ל לִבִּ֗י בִּֽישׁוּעָ֫תֶ֥ךָ אָשִׁ֥ירָה לַיהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י גָמַ֣ל עָלָֽי׃
