Psalms

Chapter 13

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

2 How long, O HaShem, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

3 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

4 Behold Thou, and answer me, O HaShem my G-d; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

5 Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

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

6 I will sing unto HaShem, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
