Psalms 13

King James Version

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

Berean Standard Bible

¹For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? ²How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me? ³Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death, ⁴lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall. ⁵But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation. ⁶I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
