[ Read](/kjv/psalms/13)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/13)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/13) Audio

 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?*

 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?

 3 Consider *and* hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the *sleep of* death;

 4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; *and* those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

 5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

 6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
 
[Psalms 12](/study/psalms/12) [Psalms 14](/study/psalms/14)
