# Psalms 13 [[Psalms 12|←]] • [[Psalms 14|→]] --- To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. ### 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? ### 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? ### 3 Consider hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the death; ### 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. ### 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. ### 6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
