Psalm 13

How long, O Lord, will You forget
Your servant, hide Your face from me?
How long this anxious heart persist
Until Your hand delivers me?
How long with dominating foe
Must I be left in agony?

Look now to me, O Lord, my God,
And shine the light of life, a beam
Of brightness in my eye that I
Might live, of Your salvation sing;
Come silence all my enemies
And foil all the evil scheme.

How long, O Lord, will You forget
Your child, hide Your face from me?
How long until You come with love
That deals with me so bountifully?
Let me rejoice with heart and voice
That rises to eternity.
