Psalm 13

1. (0) For the leader. A psalm of David:

2. (1) How long, Adonai? 2 Will you forget me forever? 2 How long will you hide your face from me?

3. (2) How long must I keep asking myself what to do, 3 with sorrow in my heart every day? 3 How long must my enemy dominate me?

4. (3) Look, and answer me, Adonai my God! 4 Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death.

5. (4) Then my enemy would say, “I was able to beat him”; 5 and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall.

6. (5) But I trust in your grace, 6 my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety. 6 I will sing to Adonai, because he gives me 6 even more than I need.
