Psalm 13

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1. How 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.
