Psalm 13, Chant E

Chant H

 

Psalm 13   Usquequo, Domine?

1 How long, O LORD? will you forget me for ev-er? *
how long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long shall I have perplexity in my mind, and grief in my heart, day af-ter day? *
how long shall my enemy triumph o-ver me?

3 Look upon me and answer me, O LORD my God; *
give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed ov-er him,” *
and my foes rejoice that I have fal-len.

Chant H

5 But I put my trust in your mer-cy; *
my heart is joyful because of your sav-ing help.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt with me rich-ly; *
I will praise the Name of the Lord Most High.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for e-ver. A-men.
