Psalm 13

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. A Psalm of David.
¹ How long, O Lord? Will you forget me for ever?
   How long will you hide your face from me?
² How long must I bear pain^* in my soul,
   and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

³ Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
   Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
⁴ and my enemy will say, ‘I have prevailed’;
   my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

⁵ But I trusted in your steadfast love;
   my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
⁶ I will sing to the Lord,
   because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 150

Praise for God’s Surpassing Greatness

¹ Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
   praise him in his mighty firmament!^*
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
   praise him according to his surpassing greatness!

³ Praise him with trumpet sound;
   praise him with lute and harp!
⁴ Praise him with tambourine and dance;
   praise him with strings and pipe!
⁵ Praise him with clanging cymbals;
   praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
⁶ Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
