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 by David.] How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph 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.

Look, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in 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 my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

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

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

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.
