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.

Psalms 13
13
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1How much longer, Lord,
will you forget about me?
Will it be forever?
How long will you hide?
2How long must I be confused
and miserable all day?
How long will my enemies
keep beating me down?
3Please listen, Lord God,
and answer my prayers.
Make my eyes sparkle again,
or else I will fall
into the sleep of death.
4My enemies will say,
“Now we've won!”
They will be greatly pleased
when I am defeated.
5I trust your love,
and I feel like celebrating
because you rescued me.
6You have been good to me, Lord,
and I will sing about you.
