Psalms 13

Tehillim

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? {chief...: or, overseer}

2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, {having} sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider {and} hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the {sleep of} death;

4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; {and} those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
