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 enemy 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.
