Psalms 13

PSALM 13
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that thou
wilt hide thy face from me?
2How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
Shall be mine enemy?
3O Lord my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake:
4Lest that mine enemy should say,
Against him I prevail'd;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am mov'd and fail'd.
5But I have all my confidence
thy mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvation.
6I will unto the Lord my God
sing praises cheerfully,
Because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.

Psalms 13
13
PSALM 13
Prayer for Help in Trouble.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
2How long must I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy exalt himself and triumph over me?
3Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
Give light (life) to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
5But I have trusted and relied on and been confident in Your lovingkindness and faithfulness;
My heart shall rejoice and delight in Your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
