Psalms 13

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Until when, O YHWH, Do You forget me forever? Until when do You hide Your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Until when do I set counsels in my soul, [With] sorrow in my heart daily? Until when is my enemy exalted over me?

3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Look attentively; Answer me, O YHWH, my God, Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

Lest my enemy say, “I overcame him,” My adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

And I have trusted in Your kindness, My heart rejoices in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.

I sing to YHWH, For He has conferred benefits on me!
