How Long, O Yahweh?

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

13 How long, O Yahweh? Will You (A)forget me forever?
How long (B)will You hide Your face from me?
How long shall I (C)take counsel in my soul,
Having (D)sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

(E)Look and answer me, O Yahweh my God;
(F)Give light to my eyes, lest I (G)sleep the sleep of death,
Lest my enemy (H)says, “I have overcome him,”
And (I)my adversaries rejoice that I am shaken.

But I have (J)trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall (K)rejoice in Your salvation.
I will (L)sing to Yahweh,
Because He has (M)dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 13[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

How long,(A) Lord? Will you forget me(B) forever?
    How long will you hide your face(C) from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts(D)
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?(E)

Look on me(F) and answer,(G) Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes,(H) or I will sleep in death,(I)
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,(J)
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.(K)

But I trust in your unfailing love;(L)
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.(M)
I will sing(N) the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.

Plegaria de un afligido

Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.

13 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Señor? ¿Me olvidarás para siempre(A)?
¿Hasta cuándo esconderás de mí tu rostro(B)?
¿Hasta cuándo he de tomar consejo en mi alma(C),
teniendo pesar en mi corazón todo el día(D)?
¿Hasta cuándo mi enemigo se enaltecerá sobre mí?

Considera y respóndeme, oh Señor, Dios mío(E);
ilumina mis ojos(F), no sea que duerma el sueño de la muerte(G);
no sea que mi enemigo diga: Lo he vencido(H);
y mis adversarios se regocijen cuando yo sea sacudido(I).

Mas yo en tu misericordia he confiado(J);
mi corazón se regocijará en tu salvación(K).
Cantaré al Señor(L),
porque me ha colmado de bienes(M).
