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.

1For the leader. A psalm of David:
2How long, Adonai?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
3How long must I keep asking myself what to do,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long must my enemy dominate me?
4Look, and answer me, Adonai my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death.
5Then my enemy would say, “I was able to beat him”;
and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall.
6But I trust in your grace,
my heart rejoices as you bring me to safety.
I will sing to Adonai, because he gives me
even more than I need.
