Psalms 13

1For the leader. A psalm of David.

2How long, O YHWH, will you forget me—forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

3How long shall I set counsels in my soul (nephesh), sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4Look, answer me, O YHWH my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death;

5Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him"; lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

6But I, in your lovingkindness I have trusted; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation (yeshuah). I will sing to YHWH, for he has dealt bountifully with me.
