Psalm 13
Sung Response: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side. Spoken: How long, O Lord? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I bear pain in my soul, And have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Sung Response: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side. Spoken: Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him", Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. But I trusted in your steadfast love; My heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with me. Sung Response: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
