Psalms, chapter 13

A Prayer for the Lord's Help

How much longer, Lord, will you forget about me?

Will it be forever? How long will you hide?

²How longI must I be confused and miserable all day?

How long will my enemiesP keep beating me down?

³Please listen, Lord God, and answer my prayers.

Make my eyes sparkle again,

or else I will fall into the sleep of death.

⁴My enemies will say, “Now we've won!”

They will be greatly pleased when I am defeated.

⁵I trust your love, and I feel like celebrating

because you rescued me.

⁶You have been good to me, Lord,

and I will sing about youH.
