Psalm 13:2

A Plea For Deliverance

¹ For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.Lord, how long will You forget me?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
² How long will I store up anxious concerns within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me? ³ Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
