Psalm 13

New International Version

Psalm 13^[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹How long,^(A) Lord? Will you forget me^(B) forever?
    How long will you hide your face^(C) from me?
²How long must I wrestle with my thoughts^(D)
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?^(E)

³Look on me^(F) and answer,^(G) Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes,^(H) or I will sleep in death,^(I)
⁴and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,^(J)”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.^(K)

⁵But I trust in your unfailing love;^(L)
my heart rejoices in your salvation.^(M)
⁶I will sing^(N) the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

Repent or Perish

13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate^(A) had mixed with their sacrifices. ²Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?^(B) ³I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. ⁴Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam^(C) fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? ⁵I tell you, no! But unless you repent,^(D) you too will all perish.”
