Psalms 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.	1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] How long, Yahweh, wil you forget me? For ever? How long wilyou turn away your face from me?
2 How long, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me?	2 How long must I nurse rebel ion in my soul, sorrow in my heart day and night? How long is the enemyto domineer over me?
3 How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?	3 Look down, answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes or I shal fal into the sleep of death.
4 Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death,	4 Or my foe will boast, 'I have overpowered him,' and my enemy have the joy of seeing me stumble.
5 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed," lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.	5 As for me, I trust in your faithful love, Yahweh. Let my heart delight in your saving help, let me sing toYahweh for his generosity to me, let me sing to the name of Yahweh the Most High!
6 I trust in your faithfulness. Grant my heart joy in your help, That I may sing of the LORD, "How good our God has been to me!"
