Psalm 13
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1 How long,
LORD?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How
long shall I take
counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart
every day?
How long shall
my enemy triumph over
me?
3 Behold,
and answer me,
LORD, my God.
Give light to
my eyes, lest I sleep
in death;
4 lest
my enemy say, “I
have prevailed against
him;”
lest my adversaries rejoice
when I fall.
5 But
I trust in
your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices
in your salvation.
6 I
will sing to
the LORD,
because he has
been good to
me.
