Online Bible: New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

Psalms 13:1-6

To the director. A melody of David.

1 How long, O Jehovah, will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you conceal your face from me?

2 How long shall I set resistance in my soul,
Grief in my heart by day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Do look [upon me]; answer me, O Jehovah my God.
Do make my eyes shine, that I may not fall asleep in death,

4 That my enemy may not say: “I have won out over him!”
[That] my adversaries themselves may [not] be joyful because I am made to stagger.

5 As for me, in your loving-kindness I have trusted;
Let my heart be joyful in your salvation.

6 I will sing to Jehovah, for he has dealt rewardingly with me.
