Psalms 13

1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your from me.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my over me.

How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

3 Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.

Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

4 Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.

Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

5 And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your

But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation:

6 I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.

I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.
