King James Version with Apocrypha
"Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;"
— Psalms 13:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;”
“Considerand answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; ”
“Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;”
“Look at me! Answer me, O LORD my God! Revive me, or else I will die!”
“They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good: no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.”
“Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;”
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
