Psalms 13

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

¹ How long, LORD?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me? ² How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me? ³ Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death; ⁴ lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”
lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall. ⁵ But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation. ⁶ I will sing to the LORD,
because he has been good to me.
