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.
