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.

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your 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 must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

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

Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

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

Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

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

But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.
