Psalm
13
[Recommended tunes: Cheshire, St Kilda, Martyrdom]
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
|
1How
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?
|
|
2How
long take counsel in my soul,
still
sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
shall
be mine enemy?
|
|
3O
Lord my God, consider well,
and
answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of
death me overtake:
|
|
4Lest
that mine enemy should say,
Against
him I prevail'd;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
when
I am mov'd and fail'd.
|
|
5But
I have all my confidence
thy
mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
in
thy salvation.
|
|
6I
will unto the Lord my God
sing
praises cheerfully,
Because he hath his bounty shown
to
me abundantly.
