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?

in finem psalmus David usquequo Domine oblivisceris me in finem usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me

2 Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea dolorem in corde meo per diem

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

usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me

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

respice exaudi me Domine Deus meus inlumina oculos meos ne umquam obdormiam in mortem

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

nequando dicat inimicus meus praevalui adversus eum qui tribulant me exultabunt si motus fuero

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

ego autem in misericordia tua speravi exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
