Psalms 13

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? — for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

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 Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over 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 Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

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

6 I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!

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