Psalm 13
W. van der Kamp, 1972
- How long, O LORD, wilt Thou forget?
Far from Thy face I wait and fret.
How long yet must I bear my sorrow?
My heart longs for Thy mercy’s morrow.
Why am I still with foes beset?
- Look, LORD my God, and answer me;
Grant that my eyes Thy light may see,
Lest, when the light of life shall fail me,
When foes with joy and pride assail me,
My fall delight my enemy.
- Thy steadfast love has been my stay;
My heart shall praise Thee night and day
And shall rejoice in Thy salvation,
And I will praise with jubilation
Thy bounty, LORD Most High, for aye!
