How much longer, LORD, will You forget about me?
Will it be forever? how long will You hide?
How long must I be confused and miserable all day?
How long will my enemies keep beating me down?
Please listen, LORD God, and answer my prayers.
Make my eyes sparkle again, or else I will fall into the sleep of death.
My enemies will say, "Now we've won!"
They will be greatly pleased when I am defeated.
I trust Your love, and I feel like celebrating
because You rescued me.
You have been good to me, LORD,
and I will sing about You.
Psalm 13 (CEV)
