Psalms 13

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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?

2 How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

3 Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

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

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

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

5 But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

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

6 I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.

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