Psalms 13

1For the Leader. A Psalm of David. How long, O YHWH, 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 by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3Behold Thou, and answer me, O YHWH my God; 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.

5But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

6I will sing unto YHWH, Because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
