Psalm 13

How Long, O Lord?

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

13:1   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.

(ESV)
