Psalms 13— MSG

1Long enough, God - you've ignored me long enough. I've looked at the back of your head

2Long enough I've carried this ton of trouble, lived with a stomach full of pain. Long enough my arrogant enemies have looked down their noses at me.

3Take a good look at me, God, my God; I want to look life in the eye,

4So no enemy can get the best of me or laugh when I fall on my face.

5I've thrown myself headlong into your arms - I'm celebrating your rescue.

6I'm singing at the top of my lungs, I'm so full of answered prayers.
