Psalms 13

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

¹How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? ²How long must I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy exalt himself and triumph over me? ³¶Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; Give light (life) to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, ⁴And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken. ⁵¶But I have trusted and relied on and been confident in Your lovingkindness and faithfulness; My heart shall rejoice and delight in Your salvation. ⁶I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
