Psalms 13

   |   

Prayer for Help in Trouble.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, O Lord? Will You (a)forget me forever?
How long (b)will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long shall I (c)take counsel in my soul,
Having (d)sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 (e)Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
(f)Enlighten my eyes, or I will (g)sleep the sleep of death,
4 And my enemy will (h)say, "I have overcome him,"
And (i)my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

5 But I have (j)trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall (k)rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will (l)sing to the Lord,
Because He has (m)dealt bountifully with me.
