Psalms 13 — FBV

For the music director. A psalm of David.

13Verse 1How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?
^{Verse 2}How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?
^{Verse 3}Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength,⁺otherwise I'm going to die,
^{Verse 4}and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.
^{Verse 5}But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.
^{Verse 6}I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!
