Psalm 13 [GNB]
1How much longer will you forget me Lord? Forever? How much longer will you hide yourself from me? [I yearn to see Your face to see and feel Your goodness and compassion.]
2How long must I endure trouble? [How much longer must I endure these diseases?] How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night? [These afflictions are with me day and night weighing down my body and my mind.] How long will my enemies triumph over me? [I do not accept the rule of these enemies over my mind and body; they cannot have me; I am Yours.]
3Look at me, O Lord my God and answer me. Restore my strength don’t let me die.
4Don’t let my enemies [my diseases] say, “We have defeated him.” Don’t let them gloat over my downfall. [This evil that has taken over my body will not defeat me; there will be no downfall for them to gloat over.]
5I rely on Your constant love; [This is the love that sustains and strengthens me.] I will be glad, because you will rescue me. [I rejoice because You have restored me: mind, body and spirit.]
6I will sing to You, O Lord, because You have been good to me. [In the name of the all powerful and compassionate Son of God, Jesus, I offer this prayer. Amen]
