Psalm 13

Usquequo Domine

  1. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever : how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
  2. How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart : how long shall mine enemies triumph over me?
  3. Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God : lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death;
  4. Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him : for if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it.
  5. But my trust is in thy mercy : and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.
  6. I will sing of the Lord, because he hath dealt so lovingly with me : yea, I will praise the Name of the Lord most Highest.
