Psalm 13

¶ <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>>

 

 

 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? 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 daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

 3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

 6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

(KJV)
