< Psalms 13 >
1 Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over 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, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] 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 mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.
5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.
As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.
6 Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.
I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
