Psalms 13

Read the F.O.G Commentary || What is the F.O.G?

How Long, O Lord?

(Habakkuk 1:1-4)

1{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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

3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

How Long, O LORD?

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.

How Long, O LORD?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1How long, O LORD?

Will You forget me forever?

How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul,

with sorrow in my heart each day?

How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God.

Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,”

and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion;

my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the LORD,

for He has been good to me.

How Long, O Lord?

(Habakkuk 1:1-4)

1To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah, Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy face from me?

2Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

3Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

5And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.

6I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon me!
