Psalm 13 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

How long will I store up anxious concerns[fn] within me,

agony in my mind every day?

How long will my enemy dominate me?

Consider me and answer, LORD my God.

Restore brightness to my eyes;

otherwise, I will sleep in death.

My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”

and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

But I have trusted in your faithful love;

my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

I will sing to the LORD

because he has treated me generously.

Or up counsels
