Psalms 13— RSV

1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him"; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

5But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

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