Psalm 13
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

How Long, O LORD?

1To the overseer; chanting of David.

2How long, O Jehovah, wilt thou wholly forget me? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

3How long shall I put counsels in my soul, grief in my heart the day? how long shall mine enemy rise up against me?

4Look upon, answer me, O Jehovah my God: enlighten mine eyes, lest I shall sleep the death;

5Lest mine enemy shall say, I prevailed against him; mine adversaries shall exult when I shall be moved.

6And I trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation. I will sing to Jehovah for he benefited me.
