Psalm
13
The
Heart Cry of a Burdened Soul
Psa 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?
Psa 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?
Psa 13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep of
death;
Psa 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I
have prevailed against him; and those
that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
Psa 13:5 But I have trusted in
thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
Psa 13:6 I will sing unto the
LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
