Psalm 13

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. A Psalm of David.

1How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2How long must I bear pain[a] in my soul,
and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;
my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

5But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
