Psalm 13

GOD’S WORD Translation

For the choir director; a psalm by David.

13 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
²How long must I make decisions alone
with sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

³Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God!
Light up my eyes,
or else I will die
⁴and my enemy will say, “I have overpowered him.”
My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.

⁵But I trust your mercy.
My heart finds joy in your salvation.
⁶I will sing to the Lord because he has been good to me.
