1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. ¿HASTA cuándo, Jehová? ¿me olvidarás para siempre? ¿hasta cuándo esconderás tu rostro de mí?
2 ¿Hasta cuándo pondré consejos en mi alma, con ansiedad en mi corazón cada día? ¿Hasta cuándo será enaltecido mi enemigo sobre mí?
3 Mira, óyeme, Jehová Dios mío: alumbra mis ojos, porque no duerma en muerte;
4 Porque no diga mi enemigo, Vencílo: mis enemigos se alegrarán, si yo resbalare.
5 Mas yo en tu misericordia he confiado: alegraráse mi corazón en tu salud.
6 Cantaré á Jehová, porque me ha hecho bien.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the psalmist's complaint in Psalms 13?
He repeatedly asks 'how long' — how long God will forget him, hide his face, and let his enemy be exalted over him (v.1-2).
How does Psalms 13 shift in tone by its end?
Though it opens in despair, it turns to trust by verse 5, with the psalmist saying his heart 'shall rejoice in thy salvation' and promising to sing to the LORD for his goodness (v.5-6).
What does the psalmist ask God for in Psalms 13:3?
He asks God to 'lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death' (v.3), fearing his enemy will boast of prevailing over him if help doesn't come — a shift from lament to confidence similar to Isaiah 12:2.
