Ps 13

¹How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
²How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
³Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
⁴And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
⁵But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
⁶I will sing to the LORD,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Lord, I join David's cry, how much longer? The sorrow of my heart makes me physically ill. My eyes grow weaker and my enemies are still placed on high yet I pray for Your return that will end all suffering. My adversaries do rejoice in my sadness. But my soul trust in Your lovingkindness I shall rejoice in Your saving graces. I will sing to You, O Lord, with all my heart because You are so generous. I pray in the name of Jesus-amen
