Psalms 13
The psalmist cries out to God, questioning how long he will be forgotten and face sorrow, while his enemies triumph over him. He asks God to look upon him and provide light, or he will succumb to death. Despite his struggles, the psalmist affirms his trust in God's love and salvation, and expresses his joy and intention to sing praises to God.
1How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?3Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;4my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.6I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.
