Psalms 13 / 150
- 1
(How Long, O Lord?)To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
- 2
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
- 3
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
- 4
lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him,"
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
- 5
But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
- 6
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
