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?
2 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?

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

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

Psalm 13
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 13

A Plea for Deliverance

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.

1 Lord, how long will You forget me?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?(A)
2 How long will I store up anxious concerns[a] within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me?(B)

3 Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;(C)
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
4 My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.(D)

5 But I have trusted in Your faithful love;(E)
my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance.(F)
6 I will sing to the Lord
because He has treated me generously.(G)
