PSALM XIII. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 O Thou ETERNAL God, How long ‖ wilt thou forget me? Ever! ‖ How long wilt thou with anger hide ‖ thy face away from me? ‖
2 How long consult I in my Soul? ‖ Griefs daily in my heart. ‖ And how long shall my Enemies be ‖ exalted over me? ‖
3 O thou ETERNAL God, my God, ‖ look, listen unto me; ‖ enlighten thou mine eyes, lest I ‖ do fall asleep in death. ‖
