Psalms 13
Theme: Praying for relief from despair. We must continue to trust God even when he doesn’t answer us immediately.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? +
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? +
3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; +
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. +
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. +
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. +
