Psalms 13

¹For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

³Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

⁴lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

⁵But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

⁶I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
