1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 13

1 David complaineth of delay in help. 3 He prayeth for preventing grace. 5 He boasteth of divine mercy.

 13:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.]] How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

 13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

 13:3 Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

 13:5 As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

 13:6 I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
