Psalms 13

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult over me?

3 Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,

4 lest my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

5 But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

6 I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
