Psalms 13

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my 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.

Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine 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 at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

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

But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult 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 who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
