"Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;"
— Psalms 13:3, World English Bible
“Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;”
“Considerand answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; ”
“Look at me! Answer me, O LORD my God! Revive me, or else I will die!”
“They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good: no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.”
“Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;”
“Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;”
How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;" Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me. For the Chief Musician. By David.
