New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Psalm 13

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

¹How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
²How long must I bear pain^[a] in my soul,
and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

³Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
⁴and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;
my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
