Psalm 13:2

A Plea For Deliverance

¹ ([Psalm of David]) How long, O Jehovah? 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 Look at me! Answer me, O Jehovah my God! Light up my eyes, or else I will die.

In Me

Lifted Up

Day After Day

Jehovah
