Psalms 13

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me continually! how long wilt 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 have to devise resolves in my soul, with grief in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?

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

3 Look down, answer me, O Lord my God! enlighten my eyes, that I may not sleep the sleep of death;

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

4 That my enemy may not say, I have overcome him; that my assailants may not be glad when I am moved.

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

5 But I trust in thy kindness, let my heart be glad because of 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 unto the Lord, because he hath 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.
