Psalm 13




O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?


How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?


Turn and answer me, O LORD my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.


Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.


But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.


I will sing to you LORD
because you are good to me.
