Psalms 13
Reading Psalms chapter 13 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–6
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Behold, and answer me, LORD, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has been good to me.
