Psalms 13

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

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?

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,

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

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.

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful 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.

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

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