To the director. A melody of David.
13 How long, O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long will I have anxious concern,
With grief in my heart each day?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look upon me and answer me, O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} my Al {pre. Ahl}.
Give light to my eyes, so that I may not fall asleep in death,
4 So that my enemy will not say: “I have defeated him!”
Do not let my opponents rejoice over my downfall.
5 As for me, I trust in your loyal love;
My heart will rejoice in your acts of salvation.
6 I will sing to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, for he has richly rewarded me.
