Psalms 13

Gen Z Version

Modern paraphrase

1Yo, how long you gonna ghost me, Lord? Forever? When you gonna show your face again?

2How long I gotta vibe alone with this sadness in my heart? How long till my enemy flexes on me?

3Hear me out, Lord my God: light up my eyes, or I'm gonna be out for the count, fr.

4Don't let my enemy say they got the upper hand; I can't have those who stress me out celebrating when I stumble.

5But I'm all in on your mercy; my heart's gonna be lit with your salvation.

6I'm gonna sing to the Lord 'cause he's been so good to me, no cap.

King James Version

Traditional translation

1How 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.
