Psalm 13

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

13 How long, 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 every day?

    How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God.

    Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”

    lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in your loving kindness.

    My heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 I will sing to Yahweh,

    because he has been good to me.
