Psalm 13

1 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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

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

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

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

Psalm 13

For the music director; a psalm of David.

1 How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me?
How long will you pay no attention to me?

2 How long must I worry,
and suffer in broad daylight?
How long will my enemy gloat over me?

3 Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God!
Revive me, or else I will die!

4 Then my enemy will say, “I have defeated him!”
Then my foes will rejoice because I am upended.

5 But I trust in your faithfulness.
May I rejoice because of your deliverance!

6 I will sing praises to the Lord
when he vindicates me.
