¹(13) For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me ? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

¹For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

³Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

³Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

⁴lest at any time my enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

⁴lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

⁵But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

⁵But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁶I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.

⁶I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
