Psalm 13:5-6
New American Standard Bible 2020
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, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
2How long am I to feel anxious in my soul, With grief in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
3¶Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
5¶But I have trusted in Your faithfulness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6I will sing to the Lord, Because He has looked after me.
