Psalm 13

Psalm 13

Psalm 13:1[1] How long, Yahveh? Will you forget me perpetually? How long will you hide your face from me?

Psalm 13:2 How long will I store up bad advice within my throat, agony in my mind every day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Psalm 13:3 Consider me and answer, Yahveh my God. Restore brightness to my eyes; otherwise, I will sleep in death.

Psalm 13:4 My enemy will say, “I have disabled[2] him,” and my foes will celebrate because I am shaken.

Psalm 13:5 But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart will be glad because of your rescue.

Psalm 13:6 I will sing to Yahveh because he has treated me kindly.[3]
