For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
PSALM 13 C.M.

1 How long wilt thou forget me, LORD?
shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that thou
wilt hide thy face from me?

2 How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
shall be mine enemy?

3 O LORD my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake:

4 Lest that mine enemy should say,
Against him I prevailed;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am moved and failed.

5 But I have all my confidence
thy mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvätion.

6 I will unto the LORD my God
sing praises cheerfully,
Because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.
