Psalm 13

For the choir director: A psalm of David. ¹O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? ² How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

³Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die. ⁴ Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.

⁵But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. ⁶ I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.
