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
For the music director. A psalm of David.
1How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?
2How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?
3Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength,#13:3. Literally, “give light to my eyes.” Bright eyes were seen as indicative of good health. otherwise I'm going to die,
4and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.
5But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.
6I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!
