Psalm 13
How Long, O Lord?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4
lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5
But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 13
1 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How 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?
3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
