PSALM XIII IN METER.

By J. M. A.

1. How long, O Lord, wilt thou my cry neglect? How long conceal thy face? my prayer reject?
2. How long shall I take counsel in my soul, When daily sorrow doth my heart control? How long, O Lord, triumphant over me, Shall he—mine enemy—exalted be?
3. Consider, O my God, and hear my cries, And lest I sleep in death, light thou mine eyes,
4. And lest my foe rejoice because I failed, And he shall say, ’Gainst him have I prevailed.
5. But in thy mercy have I trusted long, My heart shall still rejoice,—in hope be strong;
6. And I will sing of thy salvation free, Because in bounty hast thou dealt with me.
J. M. A.
