How Long?

How Long?

How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget
And hide Thy face from me?
Why must I bear this aching heart;
This triumph over me?

We’ve waited now for many years
Lord, when will you return?
So, teach us LORD to count our days
When will we ever learn?

How long, O Lord, dost thou not judge
And vindicate my soul?
True and holy, righteous God
We know You have control!

Psalm 13:1 ¶ How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
