Psalms 13

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD, 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, having sorrow in my heart by day? 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.

Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD 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 rejoice when I am moved.

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

But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

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

I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
