‏ Psalms 13

1 David complains of delay in help. 3 He prays for preventing Grace. 5 He boasts of Divine mercy.

¶ To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
