Psalm 13

Psalm 13^a

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹How long,^p Lord? Will you forget me^q forever?

How long will you hide your face^r from me?

²How long must I wrestle with my thoughts^s

and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

How long will my enemy triumph over me?^t

³Look on me^u and answer,^v Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes,^w or I will sleep in death,^x

⁴and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,^y”

and my foes will rejoice when I fall.^z

⁵But I trust in your unfailing love;^a

my heart rejoices in your salvation.^b

⁶I will sing^c the Lord’s praise,

for he has been good to me.
