Psalm 13
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
To the leader. A Psalm of David.
1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?(A)
2 How 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?(B)
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,(C)
4 and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;
my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.(D)
5 But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.(E)
6 I will sing to the Lord
because he has dealt bountifully with me.(F)
