Psalms 13

¹How long, O LORD , wilt thou forget me for ever?

How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

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?

³Consider and answer me, O LORD my God:

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

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

Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

⁵But I have trusted in thy mercy;

My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation:

⁶I will sing unto the LORD ,

Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
