1How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
1(13-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (13-2) How long, O LORD, 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
2(13-3) 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?
3Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
3(13-4) Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
4(13-5) Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
5But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
5(13-6) But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.
6I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
6(13-6) I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
