Psalms 13 (OEB)

Psalms 14

13

For the leader. A psalm of David.

     How long, Lord , will you forget me forever?
        How long will you hide your face from me?
    
How long must I nurse grief inside me,
        and in my heart a daily sorrow?
        How long are my foes to exult over me?


     Look at me, answer me, Lord my God.
    Fill my eyes with your light,
        lest I sleep in death,
        
lest my enemies claim to have triumphed,
        lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.


     But I trust in your kindness:
        my heart will rejoice in your help.
        
I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
