Psalms 13

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

For the leader. A psalm of 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult 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 at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, 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 enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
