Read Psalms 13 in the King James Bible (opens in a new tab)

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

Psalms 13:1 - 13:6

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider [and] hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
