Psalm 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.
