Psalm 13
Names of God Bible
Psalm 13
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1 How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever?
    How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I make decisions alone
    with sorrow in my heart day after day?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look at me! Answer me, O Yahweh my Elohim!
    Light up my eyes,
    or else I will die
4         and my enemy will say, “I have overpowered him.”
            My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.
5 But I trust your mercy.
    My heart finds joy in your salvation.
6 I will sing to Yahweh because he has been good to me.
Psalm 13
New King James Version
Trust in the Salvation of the Lord
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
13 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
(A)How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;
(B)Enlighten my eyes,
(C)Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
