Psalmen 13

1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 4Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
