For the end, a Psalm of David.

13:1 How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me? for ever? how long wilt thou turn away thy face from me?

13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

13:3 Look on me, hearken to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

13:4 lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

13:5 But I have hoped in thy mercy; my heart shall exult in thy salvation.

13:6 I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

13:1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
