PSALM 13

¹To the lead player, a David psalm.

²How long, O LORD, will You forget me always?

How long hide Your face from me?

³How long shall I cast about for counsel,

sorrow in my heart all day?

How long will my enemy loom over me?

⁴Regard, answer me, LORD, my God.

Light up my eyes, lest I sleep death,

⁵lest my enemy say, “I’ve prevailed over him,”

lest my foes exult when I stumble.

⁶But I in Your kindness do trust,

my heart exults in Your rescue.

Let me sing to the LORD,

for He requited me.
