Psalm 13

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD?  for ever?
how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God:
lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

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

But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing unto the LORD,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me.


Are you in difficult place?  Do you feel alone?  These were obviously the concerns of the psalmist. 
His answer? ... trust in the Lord, rejoice in salvation, sing to the Lord, give thanks for His goodness.
