Psalms 13

LEB(i) 1 For the music director. A psalm of David.*
How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel* in my soul, and sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider* and answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death, 4 and lest my enemy should say, "I have overcome him," lest my enemies rejoice because I am shaken. 5 But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love.* My heart will rejoice in your deliverance. 6 * I will sing to Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me.
