Psalm 13

New Coverdale Version

How long will you utterly forget me, O Lord? * How long will you hide your face from me?

How long shall I seek counsel in my soul and be so vexed in my heart? * How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; * give light to my eyes, that I sleep not in death,

Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; * for if I am cast down, those who trouble me will rejoice.

But my trust is in your mercy, * and my heart is joyful in your salvation.

I will sing of the Lord, because he has dealt so lovingly with me; * indeed, I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.
