1 PSALM 13 Prayer for Help in Trouble. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, O L? Will You forget me forever?How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long must I take counsel in my soul,Havingsorrow in my heart day after day?How long will my enemy exalt himselfandtriumph over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lmy God;Give light (life) to my eyes, or I will sleep thesleep ofdeath,
4 And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
5 But I have trustedandrelied onandbeen confident in Your lovingkindnessandfaithfulness;My heart shall rejoiceanddelight in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the L,Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
