Psalms 13

How Long, O LORD?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

2Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

3lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

4But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

5I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
