13:0 A prayer for help

13 For the musical director: a song by David.

13 Yahweh, for how long will you keep forgetting about me?

For how long will you hide yourself from me?

2 How long must I worry?

≈Must I have grief in my heart all day?

≈How long will my enemy gloat over me?

3 Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God.

Restore my strength, or I’ll die in my sleep.

4 Don’t let my enemy boast that they’ve defeated me,

otherwise my enemies will celebrate when I’m defeated.

5 But I’ve trusted in your loyal commitment.

I’m happy inside because you’ve saved me.

6 I’ll sing to Yahweh because he’s been generous to me.

13 For _the_director a _song of_Dāvid.
2 [fn] until when Oh_YHWH forget_me perpetuity until when will _you _hide DOM face _of_your from_me.
3 [fn] until when will _I _set counsel(s) in/on/at/with_soul _of_my sorrow in/on/at/with_heart _of_my by _day until when will _he _be _exalted enemy _of_my over_me.
4 [fn] consider answer_me Oh_YHWH god _of_my give _light eyes _of_my lest I _should _sleep the_death.
5 [fn] lest he _should _say enemy _of_my overcome_him foes _of_my they _will _rejoice if/because I _am _shaken.
6 [fn] and_I in/on/at/with_steadfast _love _of_your I _have _trusted heart _of_my may _it _rejoice in/on/at/with_salvation _of_your[fn] I _will _sing to/for_YHWH if/because he _has _dealt _bountifully with_me.
