How Long, O LORD?

Chapter 13

1. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2. How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3. Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

4. lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him," lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

5. But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
