Psalm 13


1. O 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?


3. Turn 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.


5. But 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.
