- 13How long, O Lord, will you withdraw yourself from me? How long will you hide your face from me, 2that I may not see you? Will you forget me and cast me off from your presence for ever? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3Consider me, O Lord, and hear my cry, O my God, and lighten my eyes lest I sleep the death of the ungodly, 4lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him. Those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5But I have trusted in your mercy. My heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6I will sing unto the Lord because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 13
To the chief musician, a psalm of David.
