Psalms 13 - New Revised Standard Version(NRSVCI)

Prayer for Deliverance from EnemiesTo 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 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.
