Psalms 13

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, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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