Psalm 12

Masoretic — Psalm 13

Psalm 12, verse 1. For the End; a psalm by David.
Psalm 12, verse 2. How long, O Lord? Will You forget me to the end?
How long will You turn Your face from me?
Psalm 12, verse 3. How long will I take counsel in my soul,
Having grief in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Psalm 12, verse 4. Look upon me and hear me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death,
Psalm 12, verse 5. Lest my enemy say,
“I prevailed against him”;
Those who afflict me greatly rejoice, if I am shaken.
Psalm 12, verse 6. But I hope in Your mercy;
My heart shall greatly rejoice in Your salvation;
I will sing to the Lord, who shows kindness to me;
I will sing to the name of the Lord Most High.
