Psalm 13

How long will this pain go on, Yahweh,
this grief I can hardly bear?

How long will anguish grip me
and agony wring my mind?

Light up my eyes with your presence;
let me feel your love in my bones.

Keep me from losing myself
in ignorance and despair.

Teach me to be patient, Yahweh;
teach me to be endlessly patient.

Let me trust that your love enfolds me
when my heart feels desolate and dry.

I will sing to Yahweh at all times,
even from the depths of pain.

[All] Light up my eyes with your presence;
let me feel your love in my bones.
