Psalm 13

O Lord, come quickly, Lord. My heart hurts.

For the Choir Director; 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 must I make decisions alone

with sorrow in my heart day after day?

How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 Look at me! Answer me, O LORD my God!

Light up my eyes,

or else I will die

4 and my enemy will say, “I have overpowered him.”

My opponents will rejoice because I have been shaken.

5 But I trust in your mercy.

My heart finds joy in your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord because he has been good to me.
