Psalm 13
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. 
 
1 How long, LORD?  
Will you forget me forever?  
How long will you hide your face from me?   
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,  
having sorrow in my heart every day?  
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?   
3 Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God.  
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;   
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;”  
lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.   
   
 
5 But I trust in your loving kindness.  
My heart rejoices in your salvation.   
6 I will sing to the LORD,  
because he has been good to me.
