Psalms 13:5
3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,
4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.
But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
