Chapter 13

  1. How Long, O Lord? To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 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 Adonai, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
