Psalm 13, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
1How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,
3Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
