Chapter 13

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me? 3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death; 4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall. 5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation. 6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
