Psalms 13

1 Yahweh, how long will you continue to forget about me [RHQ]? Will you hide yourself [SYN] from me forever?

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long must I endure anguish/worry? Must I be miserable/sad every day? How long will my enemies continue to defeat me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Yahweh my God, look at me and answer me. Enable me to become strong [again] [IDM], and do not allow me to die.

Consider [and] answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

4 Do not allow my enemies [to boast] saying, “We have defeated him!” Do not allow them to defeat me, with the result that they will rejoice about it!

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [Lest] mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me; I will rejoice when you rescue me.

But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Yahweh, you have done many good things for me, so I will sing to you.

I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
