Psalms 13

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

5 But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
