Psalms 13

1 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?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

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

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

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

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 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.

I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
