Psalms 13

1 Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.

I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
