Psalm 13

1 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?

Trust in the Salvation of the LordTo the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.5 But 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.

Psalm 13

For the music director; a psalm of David.

1 How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me?
How long will you pay no attention to me?

2 How long must I worry,
and suffer in broad daylight?
How long will my enemy gloat over me?

3 Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God!
Revive me, or else I will die!

4 Then my enemy will say, “I have defeated him!”
Then my foes will rejoice because I am upended.

5 But I trust in your faithfulness.
May I rejoice because of your deliverance!

6 I will sing praises to the Lord
when he vindicates me.
