Psalm 13:2

A Plea For Deliverance

¹ How long, O LORD? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me? ² How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? ³ Consider [and] answer me, O LORD my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

Be Exalted

How Long

In Me

Lifted Up

Day After Day

Jehovah
