Psalm 13 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

Trust in the Salvation of the LORD

Psa 13:1To the Chief Musician. 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 shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Psa 13:3

Psa 13:3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God;
Enlighten my eyes,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Psa 13:4

Psa 13:4Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Psa 13:5

Psa 13:5But I have trusted in Your mercy;
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.
