Trust in His Chesed

Psalm 13

For the music director, a psalm of David.
How long, Adonai? Will You forget me forever?
    How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I have cares in my soul
    and daily sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look at me and answer, Adonai my God.
Light up my eyes, or I will sleep in death.
Or else my enemy will say: “I have overcome him!”
    and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

But I trust in Your lovingkindness,
    my heart rejoices in Your salvation.
I will sing to Adonai,
    because He has been good to me.

Psalm 13[a]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

How long,(A) Lord? Will you forget me(B) forever?
    How long will you hide your face(C) from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts(D)
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?(E)

Look on me(F) and answer,(G) Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes,(H) or I will sleep in death,(I)
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,(J)
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.(K)

But I trust in your unfailing love;(L)
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.(M)
I will sing(N) the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.
