The Book of Psalms

Psalm 13

  

A Plea for Deliverance

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever?
how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?   3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God:
lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.   5 But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 6 I will sing unto the Lord,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
