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 leader. A psalm of David. How long, 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 nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult over me?

3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, 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 enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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 trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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 who was good to me.
