Psalm 13

21st Century King James Version

13 How long wilt Thou forget me, O Lord? For ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

³ Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

⁴ lest mine enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

⁵ But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

⁶ I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
