Zabur 13

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by Dawud.

¹How long, Allah? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from 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?

³Behold, and answer me, Allah, my God.

Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

⁴Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;"

Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

⁵But I trust in your loving kindness.

My heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁶I will sing to Allah,

Because he has been good to me.
