< 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 wilt thou forget me, O LORD? 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 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.
Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my 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 my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.
But I have trusted in thy mercy; 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 to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
