Psalms 13

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;

4 Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
