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.
