Psalm 13 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Prayer for I Help in Affliction.

Psa 13:1
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Psa 13:2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Psa 13:3
Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God:
Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Psa 13:4
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
Psa 13:5
But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
Psa 13:6
I will sing unto Jehovah,
Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
