Psalms 13

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph 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, and answer me, 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 prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices 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, because he has been good to me.
