Ψαλμοί 13

1 εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ

[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 ἕως πότε κύριε ἐπιλήσῃ μου εἰς τέλος ἕως πότε ἀποστρέψεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ

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 ἕως τίνος θήσομαι βουλὰς ἐν ψυχῇ μου ὀδύνας ἐν καρδίᾳ μου ἡμέρας ἕως πότε ὑψωθήσεται ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἐπ’ ἐμέ

Look, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 ἐπίβλεψον εἰσάκουσόν μου κύριε ὁ θεός μου φώτισον τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου μήποτε ὑπνώσω εἰς θάνατον

Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 μήποτε εἴπῃ ὁ ἐχθρός μου ἴσχυσα πρὸς αὐτόν οἱ θλίβοντές με ἀγαλλιάσονται ἐὰν σαλευθῶ

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

6 ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ ἐλέει σου ἤλπισα ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ καρδία μου ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου ᾄσω τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ εὐεργετήσαντί με καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου

I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.
