Text:

Psalm 13
For the director of music. A psalm of David.

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
    How long will you hide your face from me? 
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    [How long will my enemy triumph over me?]

Look on me and answer, O Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love;
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
    for he has been good to me.
