Psalm 13 (NIrV)

Psalm 13

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 Lord, how long must I wait? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you turn your face away from me?

2How long must I struggle with my thoughts?

How long must my heart be sad day after day?

How long will my enemies keep winning the battle over me?

3 Lord my God, look at me and answer me.

Give me new life, or I will die.

4Then my enemies will say, “We have beaten him.”

They will be filled with joy when I die.

5But I trust in your faithful love.

My heart is filled with joy because you will save me.

6I will sing praise to the Lord.

He has been so good to me.
