## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### For the music director, a psalm of David.
13 How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me?
How long will you pay no attention to me?
2Â How long must I worry,
and suffer in broad daylight?
How long will my enemy gloat over me?
3 Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God!
Revive me, or else I will die.
4 Then my enemy will say, “I have defeated him.”
Then my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
5Â But IÂ trust in your faithfulness.
May I rejoice because of your deliverance.
6 I will sing praises to the Lord
when he vindicates me.
