Psalms 13 - The Passion Translation(TPT)

Prayer Turns Depression into Delight For the Pure and Shining OneA Psalm of DavidDepression

1I’m hurting, Lord—will you forget me forever?

How much longer, Lord?

Will you look the other way when I’m in need?

2How much longer must I cling to this constant grief?

I’ve endured this shaking of my soul.

So how much longer will my enemy have the upper hand?

Intercession

3Take a good look at me, Yahweh, my God, and answer me!

Breathe your life into my spirit.

Bring light to my eyes in this pitch-black darkness

or I will sleep the sleep of death.

4Don’t let my enemy proclaim, “I’ve prevailed over him.”

For all my adversaries will celebrate when I fall.

5I have always trusted in your kindness, so answer me.

I will spin in a circle of joy

when your salvation lifts me up.

6I will sing my song of joy to you, Yahweh,

for in all of this you have strengthened my soul.

My enemies say that I have no Savior,

but I know that I have one in you!
