Psalm 13 NIV ISV Parallel

◄ Psalm 13 ►

New International Version

International Standard Version

1For the director of music. A psalm of David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

1How long? LORD, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

2How long must I struggle in my soul at night and have sorrow in my heart during the day? How long will my enemy rise up against me?

3Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

3Look at me! Answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes! Otherwise, I will sleep in death;

4and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

4Otherwise, my enemy will say, "I have overcome him;" Otherwise, my persecutor will rejoice when I am shaken.

5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

5As for me, I have trusted in your gracious love, my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

6I will sing the LORD's praise, for he has been good to me.

6I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt bountifully with me.
