Psalms 13 - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012（CEVUK）

(A psalm by David for the music leader.)A prayer for the LORD

's help

1How much longer, LORD,

will you forget about me?

Will it be for ever?

How long will you hide?

2How long must I be confused

and miserable all day?

How long will my enemies

keep beating me down?

3Please listen, LORD God,

and answer my prayers.

Make my eyes sparkle again,

or else I will fall

into the sleep of death.

4My enemies will say,

“Now we've won!”

They will be greatly pleased

when I am defeated.

5I trust your love,

and I feel like celebrating

because you rescued me.

6You have been good to me, LORD,

and I will sing about you.
