A Prayer for God to Be Near

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

13 
How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever?

How long will you hide from me?

How long must I worry

and feel sad in my heart all day?

How long will my enemy win over me?

Lord, look at me.

Answer me, my God;

tell me, or I will die.

Otherwise my enemy will say, “I have won!”

Those against me will rejoice that I’ve been defeated.

I trust in your love.

My heart is happy because you saved me.

I sing to the Lord

because he has taken care of me.
