<blockquote><p>&#0160;<sup class="versenum" id="bg_passage-13200">1-2</sup> Long enough, God— you&#39;ve ignored me long enough. <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;I&#39;ve looked at the back of your head <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;long enough. Long enough <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;I&#39;ve carried this ton of trouble, <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;lived with a stomach full of pain. <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;Long enough my arrogant enemies <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;have looked down their noses at me. </p>
<p>&#0160;<sup class="versenum" id="bg_passage-13201">3-4</sup> Take a good look at me, <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">God</span>, my God; <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;I want to look life in the eye, <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;So no enemy can get the best of me <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;or laugh when I fall on my face. </p>
<p>&#0160;<sup class="versenum" id="bg_passage-13202">5-6</sup> I&#39;ve thrown myself headlong into your arms— <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;I&#39;m celebrating your rescue. <br />&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;I&#39;m singing at the top of my lungs, </p>
<p>&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;&#0160;I&#39;m so full of answered prayers. (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+13+&amp;version=MSG&amp;src=embed">Psalm 13</a>, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/Message-MSG-Bible/?src=embed">The Message</a>)</p>

<p>He is able, and He will rescue me. He <strong><em>is</em></strong> able, and He <strong>will</strong> rescue me.</p>
<p>In this I hope tonight. In this I believe. In this I cling to with all my might.</p>
<p>I need my God to rescue me, for I&#39;m drowning in my own mess and my enemies are watching in delight.</p>
<p>Laughing, poking, kicking me while I&#39;m down. Against them I cannot stand. Not alone.</p>
<p>Jesus, do You hear me? Jesus, will you come? Will I some day see You? Will I someday get to go Home?</p>
<p>He is able, and He will rescue me. He <strong><em>is</em></strong> able, and He <strong>will</strong> rescue me.</p>
<p>In this I hope tonight. In this I believe. In this I cling to with all my might.</p>
<p>He delights in me, and dances over me all day long. He is enthralled by my beauty and knows every note of my unique song.</p>
<p>Therefore I will hope. I <em>will</em> Hope. I will Hope in Him and no one else. Hope in Him and nothing else. He is able and He will come.</p>
