Psalm 13
Usquequo, Domine?
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 6 verses
- 1
How long, O LORD? will you forget me for ever? *
how long will you hide your face from me? - 2
How long shall I have perplexity in my mind, and grief in my heart, day after day? *
how long shall my enemy triumph over me? - 3
Look upon me and answer me, O LORD my God; *
give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death; - 4
Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him," *
and my foes rejoice that I have fallen. - 5
But I put my trust in your mercy; *
my heart is joyful because of your saving help. - 6
I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt with me richly; *
I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.
