To the director. A melody of David.

13 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.*+
