- Chapter 13 -

How long, O Lord?

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.

How long, O Lord?

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
