UST by section PSA 13:1

Psalm 13

To the music director; sheminith. psalm David.

13 Yahweh, help us!

It seems like people who honor you are no more.

2 Everyone tells lies to other people;

they deceive others by saying good things about them that they know are not true and by speaking insincerely.

3 Yahweh, we wish that you would cut off their tongues

so that they cannot continue to boast.

4 They say, “By speaking untruthfully we will get what we want;

we control what we say, no one can tell us what we should do!”

5 But Yahweh replies, “I have seen the oppressive things that they have done to helpless people;

I have heard those people groaning,

so I will take action and rescue the people who are wanting someone to help them.”

6 Yahweh, what you say is morally pure and you always do what you have said you will do.

Your words are as precious and pure as silver

that has been heated seven times in a furnace to get rid of all the impure material.

7 Yahweh, we know that you will continually protect us who honor you

from those wicked people.

8 When people praise wicked actions,

wicked people strut around proudly.

To the music director. psalm David.

13 Yahweh, how long will you continue to not answer me?

How long will you hide yourself from me?

2 How long must I think about my problems within myself?

Must I be miserable every day?

How long will my enemy defeat me?

3 Yahweh my God, pay attention to me and respond to me.

Restore my strength by giving me what I have hoped for or I will die

4 and then my enemy would say, “I have defeated him”

and those who are against me would celebrate when they had defeated me.

5 But I trust that you will faithfully love me;

may I rejoice when you rescue me.

6 Yahweh will do good things for me,

so I will sing to him.
