Psalm 13, NEW INTERNATIONAL READER’S VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

Lord, how long must I wait?  Will you forget me forever?
How long will you turn your face away from me?
 

2

How 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.
 

4

Then my enemies will say, “We have beaten him.”
They will be filled with joy when I die.
 

5

But I trust in your faithful love.
My heart is filled with joy because you will save me.
 

6

I will sing to the Lord.
He has been so good to me.
