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 of the music. 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 have anxiety in my soul for ever, And sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

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

Look down and hear me, O LORD, my God! Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

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

Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him!” Lest my adversaries rejoice, when I am fallen.

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

Yet will I trust in thy goodness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation;

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

I will sing to the LORD, that he hath dealt kindly with me.
