Ps 13

13 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?How long will You hide Your face from me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,Having sorrow in my heart daily?How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;Enlighten my eyes,Lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4 Lest my enemy say,"I have prevailed against him";Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in Your mercy;My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord,Because He has dealt bountifully with me. NKJV
