Psalm 13

Easy-to-Read Version

To the director: A song of David.

13 How long will you forget me, Lord?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you refuse to accept me?^[a]
²How long must I wonder if you have forgotten me?
How long must I feel this sadness in my heart?
How long will my enemy win against me?

³Lord my God, look at me and give me an answer.
Make me feel strong again, or I will die.
⁴If that happens, my enemy will say, “I beat him!”
He will be so happy that he won.

⁵But I trust in your faithful love, Lord.
I will be happy when you save me.
⁶Then I will sing to the Lord
because he was so good to me.
