Psalms 13

Psalm 13#sn Psalm 13. The psalmist, who is close to death, desperately pleads for God’s deliverance and affirms his trust in God’s faithfulness.

For the music director; a psalm of David.

1How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me? How long will you pay no attention to me?

2How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight? How long will my enemy gloat over me?

3Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God! Revive me, or else I will die!

4Then my enemy will say, “I have defeated him!” Then my foes will rejoice because I am upended.

5But I trust in your faithfulness. May I rejoice because of your deliverance!

6I will sing praises to the Lord when he vindicates me.
