Psalm 13 in modern numbering
1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?
3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over Me?
4 Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death:
5 Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved:
6 But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high.
