New King James Version

Psalms 13 New King James Version (NKJV)

Trust in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1. How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?How long will You hide Your face from me?

2. How long shall I take counsel in my soul,Having sorrow in my heart daily?How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3. Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;Enlighten my eyes,Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4. Lest my enemy say,“I have prevailed against him”;Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5. But I have trusted in Your mercy;My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6. I will sing to the Lord,Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
