Psalms 13

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

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר 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־אָנָה יְהֹוָה תִּשְׁכָּחֵנִי נֶצַח עַד־אָנָה ׀ תַּסְתִּיר אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

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

עַד־אָנָה אָשִׁית עֵצוֹת בְּנַפְשִׁי יָגוֹן בִּלְבָבִי יוֹמָם עַד־אָנָה ׀ יָרוּם אֹיְבִי עָלָֽי׃

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

הַבִּיטָֽה עֲנֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי הָאִירָה עֵינַי פֶּן־אִישַׁן הַמָּֽוֶת׃

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

פֶּן־יֹאמַר אֹיְבִי יְכׇלְתִּיו צָרַי יָגִילוּ כִּי אֶמּֽוֹט׃

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

וַאֲנִי ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ בָטַחְתִּי יָגֵל לִבִּי בִּֽישׁוּעָתֶךָ אָשִׁירָה לַֽיהֹוָה כִּי גָמַל עָלָֽי׃
