Psalm 13

How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget me?  O LORD, for ever?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart?
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Behold and answer me, O God! 
Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Lest mine enemy say, “I have prevailed against him!”
Lest my foes be joyful when I fall. 

How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget me?  O LORD, for ever?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 

As for me, I have confided in thy mercy;
My heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.
I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath been good to me.
