Psalm 13

Legacy Standard Bible

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?
²How 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?

³^(E)Look and answer me, O Yahweh my God;
^(F)Give light to my eyes, lest I ^(G)sleep the sleep of death,
⁴Lest my enemy ^(H)says, “I have overcome him,”
And ^(I)my adversaries rejoice that I am shaken.

⁵But I have ^(J)trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall ^(K)rejoice in Your salvation.
⁶I will ^(L)sing to Yahweh,
Because He has ^(M)dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 13

Common English Bible

Psalm 13

For the music leader. A song of David.

13 How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
²How long will I be left to my own wits,
agony filling my heart? Daily?
How long will my enemy keep defeating me?

³Look at me!
    Answer me, Lord my God!
Restore sight to my eyes!
    Otherwise, I’ll sleep the sleep of death,
⁴        and my enemy will say, “I won!”
        My foes will rejoice over my downfall.

⁵But I have trusted in your faithful love.
My heart will rejoice in your salvation.
⁶Yes, I will sing to the Lord
because he has been good to me.
