Psalms 13

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

¹How long, Yahweh?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
²How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
³Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
⁴Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”
Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

⁵But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
⁶I will sing to Yahweh,
because he has been good to me. For the Chief Musician. By David.
