Psalms 13

1 How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away 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 my enemy be exalted over me?

How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

5 But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

6 I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.

But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
