Psalm 13
1599 Geneva Bible

13 1 David as it were overcome with sundry and new afflictions, fleeth to God as his only refuge, 3 and so at the length being encouraged through God’s promises, he conceiveth most sure confidence against the extreme horrors of death.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David.

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, [a]forever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take [b]counsel within myself having weariness daily in mine heart? how long shall mine enemy be exalted above me?

3 Behold, and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death.

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have [c]prevailed against him: and they that afflict me, rejoice, when I slide.

5 But I trust in thy [d]mercy: mine heart shall rejoice in thy salvation; I will sing to the Lord, because he hath [e]dealt lovingly with me.
