PSALMS 13


Tehillim 13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

1 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid)

How long wilt Thou forget me, Hashem? Netzach (forever?) How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

2 (3) How long shall I take counsel in my nefesh, having sorrow in my lev daily? How long shall mine oyev be exalted over me?

3 (4) Consider and hear me, Hashem Elohai; enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of mavet;

4 (5) Lest mine oyev say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am defeated.

5 (6) But I have trusted in Thy chesed; my lev shall rejoice in Thy Yeshuah (salvation).

6 I will sing unto Hashem, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

***

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Yahweh? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O Yahweh my Elohim: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I will sing unto Yahweh, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
