Psalm 13

New Revised Standard NRS

1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,

4 and my enemy will say, "I have prevailed"; my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

5 But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Long enough, God - you've ignored me long enough. I've looked at the back of your head

2 Long enough I've carried this ton of trouble, lived with a stomach full of pain. Long enough my arrogant enemies have looked down their noses at me.

3 Take a good look at me, God, my God; I want to look life in the eye,

4 So no enemy can get the best of me or laugh when I fall on my face.

5 I've thrown myself headlong into your arms - I'm celebrating your rescue.

6 I'm singing at the top of my lungs, I'm so full of answered prayers.
