Psalm 13:2

A Plea For Deliverance

¹ How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? ² How 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?
³ Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

Be Exalted

How Long

In Me

Lifted Up

Day After Day

Jehovah
