Psalm 13:5-6
American Standard Version (1901)
Chapter overview
Psalm 13 compresses the movement of lament: prolonged abandonment, urgent petition, renewed trust, and song. The circumstances remain serious, yet remembered faithful love enables praise before resolution is fully visible.

1How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me 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 all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
5But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
