Psalm 13

1 Dauid as it were ouercome with ſundrie and newe afflictions, fleeth to God as his onelie refuge 3 And ſo at the length being encouraged through Gods promiſes, he conceiueth moſte ſure confidence againſt the extreme horrours of death.
1.HOw long wilt yu forget me, ô Lord, for euer? how long wilt thou hyde thy face from me?
2.How long ſhal I take coũſel within my ſelf, hauing wearines daiely in mine heart? how long ſhal mine enemie be exalted aboue me?
3.Beholde, & heare me, ô Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I ſlepe not in death:
4.Leſt mine enemie ſaie, I haue preuailed againſt him: & they that afflict me, reioyce when I ſlide.
5.But I truſt in thy mercie: mine heart ſhal reioyce in thy ſaluacion: I wil ſing to the Lord, becauſe he hathe delt louingly with me.
