Psalm 13

¹How long, O Lord? will you forget me for ever? *how long will you hide your face from me?

²How long shall I have perplexity in my mind, and grief in my heart, day after day? *how long shall my enemy triumph over me?

³Look upon me and answer me, O Lord my God; *give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

⁴Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” *and my foes rejoice that I have fallen.

⁵But I put my trust in your mercy; *my heart is joyful because of your saving help.

⁶I will sing to the Lord, for he has dealt with me richly; *I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.
