Psalm 13
How long, O Lord, will you so utterly forget me
: how long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I suffer anguish in my soul,
and be so grieved in my heart day and night
: how long shall my enemy triumph over me?
Look upon me, O Lord my God, and answer me
: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
Lest my enemy say ‘I have prevailed against him’
: lest my foes exult at my overthrow.
Yet I put my trust in your unfailing love
: O let my heart rejoice in your salvation.
And I will make my song to the Lord
: because he deals so bountifully with me.
