Psalms 13 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, YLT, BBE)

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

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

1To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? --for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

1 Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

2How 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?

2Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

2How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

3Considerand answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

3Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

3Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

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

4Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

4And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad when I am moved.

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

5And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

5But I have had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation.

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

6I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!

6I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.
