Psalm 13

The Voice

Psalm 13

For the worship leader. A song of David.

¹How long, O Eternal One? How long will You forget me? Forever?
How long will You look the other way?

²How long must I agonize,
grieving Your absence in my heart every day?
How long will You let my enemies win?

³Turn back; respond to me, O Eternal, my True God!
Put the spark of life in my eyes, or I’m dead.
⁴My enemies will boast they have beaten me;
my foes will celebrate that I have stumbled.

⁵But I trust in Your faithful love;
my heart leaps at the thought of imminent deliverance by You.
⁶I will sing to the Eternal,
for He is always generous with me.
