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.

To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

A Prayer for Deliverance

13 How long? Lord, will you forget me forever?^[a]
    How long will you hide your face from me?
²How long must I struggle in my soul at night
    and have sorrow in my heart during the day?
        How long will my enemy rise up against me?
³Look at me!
    Answer me, Lord, my God!
Give light to my eyes!
    Otherwise, I will sleep in death;
⁴Otherwise, my enemy will say,
    “I have overcome him;”
Otherwise, my persecutor will rejoice
    when I am shaken.
⁵As for me, I have trusted in your gracious love,
    my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.
⁶I will sing to the Lord,
    for he has dealt bountifully with me.
