Psalms

A collection of songs and prayers expressing a wide range of emotions and thoughts on faith.

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation:

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.

Chapter 13
