Psalms 13

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away 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 can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

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

3 How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4 Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

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

5 lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

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

6 But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.

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.
