Psalm 13 :: New International Version (NIV)

Psa 13:1 [fn]For the director of music. A psalm of David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Psa 13:2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Psa 13:3Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

Psa 13:4and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

Psa 13:5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psa 13:6I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.
