Psal. 13. Usque quò Domine?

Ad Præstantem. Psalmus David.

1

How long, Lord, wilt thou me forget?
for ever shall it be?
How long, no eye upon mee set,
but hide thy face from me?

2

How long shall I in soule advise,
and daily vexe my heart?
How long, my foes above me rise,
against me that take part?

3

Behold, O Lord my God, and heare
from clouds of darknesse deep:
With thy pure light mine eye-sight cleare,
lest in the death I sleep.

4

Against me, lest to have prevail'd,
my foe give out the voice:

19

For when my feeble foot hath fail'd,
my troublers will rejoyce.

5

My trust yet on thy mercie staies,
thy saving health shall be
My joy of heart, my song shall praise
thy bounty, Lord, to mee.
