Psalm 13

Psalm 13 – A Prayer for Help in Trouble

For the leader. A psalm of David.

1How long, Lord, will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

2How long must I nurse grief inside me,

and in my heart a daily sorrow?

How long are my foes to exult over me?

3Look at me, answer me, Lord my God.

Fill my eyes with your light,

lest I sleep in death,

4lest my enemies claim to have triumphed,

lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

5But I trust in your kindness:

my heart will rejoice in your help.

6I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
