Psalms 13:1
How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?
3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
