Psalms 13
Jewish Publication Society of America Version (JPS1917)
1 (13-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (13-2) How long, O LORD, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?
2 (13-3) How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 (13-4) Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 (13-5) Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
5 (13-6) But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.
6 (13-6) I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
