Psalm 13

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

    1LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever?

       How long will you look the other way?

    2How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,

       with sorrow in my heart every day?

       How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

    3Turn and answer me, O LORD my God!

       Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.

    4Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”

       Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.

    5But I trust in your unfailing love.

       I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

    6I will sing to the LORD

       because he is good to me.
