| 13:1 | 
To 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? | 
| 13:2 | 
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? | 
| 13:3 | 
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; | 
| 13:4 | 
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. | 
| 13:5 | 
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. | 
| 13:6 | 
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. |
