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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
1How long, Yahweh?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”
lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6I will sing to Yahweh,
because he has been good to me.
