Psalms 13

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

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

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider, answer me, O Jehovah myGod! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

3Consider and hear me, O Lord 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 be joyful when I am moved.

4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

6I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
