Psalm 13

How Long, O Lord ?

1How long, O Lord ? Will you forget me forever?[#Ps. 79:5; 89:46; Rev. 6:10; #Ps. 10:12; 44:24; 74:19, 23; Lam. 5:20]

How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long must I take counsel in my soul[#Ps. 77:6]

and have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;[#Ps. 5:1; 119:153]

light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”[#Deut. 32:27]

lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

5But I have trusted in your steadfast love;[#Ps. 11:1]

my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6I will sing to the Lord ,

because he has dealt bountifully with me.
