13
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 
 
1 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me 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 all the day?  
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?   
3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God:  
Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;   
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;  
Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.   
5 But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness;  
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.   
6 I will sing unto Jehovah,  
Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
