Chapter 12Chapter 14

1Psalm 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?

2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3Look on me and answer, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;

4my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me.
