Psalm 13

A David Psalm ^1-2Long enough, God— you've ignored me long enough.
   I've looked at the back of your head
      long enough. Long enough
   I've carried this ton of trouble,
      lived with a stomach full of pain.
   Long enough my arrogant enemies
      have looked down their noses at me.

^3-4    Take a good look at me, GOD, my God;
      I want to look life in the eye,
   So no enemy can get the best of me
      or laugh when I fall on my face.

^5-6    I've thrown myself headlong into your arms—
      I'm celebrating your rescue.
   I'm singing at the top of my lungs,
      I'm so full of answered prayers.
