Psalms 13

Psalm 13

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?

How long will You hide Your face from me?

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul,

Having sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;

Enlighten 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.

5But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;

My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6I will sing to the Lord,

Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
