Names of God Bible

Psalm 13

For the choir director; a psalm by David.

1 How long, O Yahweh? Will you forget me forever?
    How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I make decisions alone
    with sorrow in my heart day after day?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 Look at me! Answer me, O Yahweh my Elohim!
    Light up my eyes,
    or else I will die
4         and my enemy will say, “I have overpowered him.”
            My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.

5 But I trust your mercy.
    My heart finds joy in your salvation.
6 I will sing to Yahweh because he has been good to me.
