Psalm 13
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
8,6,8,6
^1How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that thou
wilt hide thy face from me?
^2How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
shall be mine enemy?
^3O Lord my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake:
^4Lest that mine enemy should say,
Against him I prevail'd;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am mov'd and fail'd.
^5But I have all my confidence
thy mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvation.
^6I will unto the Lord my God
sing praises cheerfully,
Because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.
