Psalms 13

A Prayer for God to Be Near

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
    How long will you hide from me?
2 How long must I worry
    and feel sad in my heart all day?
    How long will my enemy win over me?

3 Lord, look at me.
    Answer me, my God;
    tell me, or I will die.
4 Otherwise my enemy will say, "I have won!"
    Those against me will rejoice that I've been defeated.

5 I trust in your love.
    My heart is happy because you saved me.
6 I sing to the Lord
    because he has taken care of me.
