1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 13

1 David complaineth of delay in help. 3 He prayeth for preventing grace. 5 He boasteth of divine mercy.

 13:1 ¶ [[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.]] How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

 13:2 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?

 13:3 Consider [and] answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [Lest] mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

 13:5 But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

 13:6 I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
