The Psalms

Psalm 13

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

 ^13:1How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever?

 How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

 ^13:2How long shall I take counsel in my soul,

 Having sorrow in my heart all the day?

 How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

 ^13:3Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God:

 Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

 ^13:4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;

 Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

 ^13:5But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness;

 My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

 ^13:6I will sing unto Jehovah,

 Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
