Psalms 13

Trust in the Salvation of the Lord

1How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
