Psalms 13:1-5

¹For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

²How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

³Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

⁴and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

⁵But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.
