PSALMS

The Thirteenth Psalm

Usquequo, Domine?

---

HOW long wilt thou forget me, O LORD; for ever? * how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
 
How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart? * how long shall mine enemy triumph over me?
 
Consider, and hear me, O LORD my God; * lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death;
 
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: * for if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it.
 
But my trust is in thy mercy, * and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.
 
I will sing of the LORD, because he hath dealt so lovingly with me; * yea, I will praise the Name of the Lord Most Highest.
