Psalm 13
A Prayer for Help in
Trouble |
| 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. |
|
