Psalm 13

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1. How long will You forget me, O LORD? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2. How long shall I take counsel in my heart, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3. Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

4. Lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I am moved.

5. But as for me, I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6. I will sing to the LORD because He has dealt bountifully with me.
