Psalms 13

Psalm 13

How Long, O Yahweh?

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, O Yahweh? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Look and answer me, O Yahweh my God;
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 Lest my enemy says, “I have overcome him,”
And my adversaries rejoice that I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to Yahweh,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
