Psalms 13

Royal Kingdom

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
To the choirmaster.
A Psalm of David.

1

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you hide your face from me?

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?

3

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him”; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

5

But I have trusted in your merciful love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6

I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
