Psalm 13
For the choir director; a psalm by David.
1How 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.
