Psalm 13 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

How Long, O Lord?

Psa 13:1

Psa 13:1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?

Psa 13:2

Psa 13:2How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Psa 13:3

Psa 13:3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

Psa 13:4

Psa 13:4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

Psa 13:5

Psa 13:5But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

Psa 13:6

Psa 13:6I will sing to the LORD,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
