“Trusting Cry” – Psalm 13, Modernized

Psalm 13: A Trusting Cry
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

How long, O Lord, will You forget me completely?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long shall I bear anxiety in my soul,
and sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

Look, answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, lest I fall asleep in death,
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice when I am shaken.
But I have trusted in Your mercy;
let my heart rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has dealt bountifully with me.

A Trusting Cry – Psalm 13, Modernized

How much longer, O God, will You not remember me and my soul?
O God, I have bowed before You and I ask: how much longer will You hide Yourself from me?
O God, how much longer will You withhold from me abundance, health, the joy of existence, and happiness?
O God, how much longer will I endure fear, worries, and doubts in my soul,
and daily, needless anguish in my heart? For long ago I entrusted them all, with such trust, to the divine Light.
O God, how much longer will the enemy exalt himself over me?
O God, how much longer will the evil past and the karma of my soul be a burden to me? For long ago I entrusted them all, with such trust, to the divine Light.

O Light, please look upon me and hear me.
My God, mark me with happiness, enduring love of the heart, and courage in fulfilling the Divine plan.
I ask You, O God, enlighten my mind and my soul, for Your glory.
O God, how much longer will I have the impression that You do not hear me, that You do not remember me and my soul?
I ask You, O God, enlighten my mind and my soul, so that I do not lose vigilance,
so that one who is hostile may not say: “I have conquered him and his soul.”

I am always supported by the divine Light, and I stand unwaveringly in truth.
I have trusted divine inspirations and that which always comes with the Light.
My heart rejoices in divine help, as the soul rises on its bright wings.
Dwelling in the stream of divine grace, I fulfill God’s plan for me.
