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?

1How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? 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 daily? 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,

3Consider and hear me, O Lord 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; and those that trouble me 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 mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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

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