Psalm 13
For the music director. A psalm of David.
How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?
How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?
Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength,1 otherwise I'm going to die,
and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.
But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.
I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!
