Psalm 13
For the leader. A psalm of David:
How long, Adonai? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I keep asking myself what to do, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long must my enemy dominate me?
Look, and answer me, Adonai my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death. Then my enemy would say, “I was able to beat him”; and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall.
But I trust in your grace, my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety. I will sing to Adonai, because he gives me even more than I need.
Chapter 108
1. A song, a psalm by David. 2. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and chant praises even with my soul. 3. Awake, O lyre and harp; I shall awaken the dawn. 4. I will thank You among the nations, Lord; I will sing praises to You among the peoples. 5. Indeed, Your kindness reaches above the heavens; Your truth reaches to the skies. 6. Be exalted upon the heavens, O God, [show] Your glory upon all the earth. 7. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. 8. God spoke in His holiness that I would exult, I would divide portions [of the enemies' land], I would measure the Valley of Succot. 9. Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, and Ephraim is the stronghold of my head, Judah is my prince. 10. Moab is my washbasin, I will cast my shoe upon Edom, I will shout over Philistia. 11. Who brings me to the fortified city? Who led me unto Edom? 12. Is it not God, Who has [until now] forsaken us, and did not go forth, O God, with our armies? 13. Give us help against the adversary; futile is the help of man. 14. Through God we will do valiantly, and He will trample our oppressors.
