Psalms Chapter 13

1 LORD, are you going to forget about me forever?

      How long will you ignore me?

2 How long must I counsel myself in constant sorrow?

      How long will my enemies lord it over me?

3 Think about me and respond to me, LORD my God;

            brighten my eyes so they don’t grow dull as in death,

                           4so my enemies won’t brag about defeating me

                           and celebrate over my downfall.

5 I rely on your enduring love;

      I’m happy because you’ve delivered me.

6 I’ll sing to you, LORD,

      because you’ve blessed me wonderfully.                        

Ps 13:1-6
