Psalms 13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	New American Bible
¹ To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?	¹ For the leader. A psalm of David.
² How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?	² How long, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me?
³ Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;	³ How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
⁴ lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him"; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.	⁴ Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death,
⁵ But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.	⁵ Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed," lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.
⁶ I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.	⁶ I trust in your faithfulness. Grant my heart joy in your help, That I may sing of the LORD, "How good our God has been to me!"
