Psalm 13
For the director of
music. A psalm of David.
1How long, Lord?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will You hide your face from
me?
2 How long must I wrestle
with my thoughts
and day after day have
sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy
triumph over me?
3Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes,
or I will sleep in death,
4and my enemy will say,
“I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice
when I fall.
my heart rejoices in
your salvation.
6I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for He has been good to me.
Psalm
13
This Psalm is the
deserted soul's case and cure. Whether it was penned upon any particular
occasion does not appear, but in general;
I. David sadly
complains that God had long withdrawn from him and delayed to relieve him (v.
1, 2).
II. He earnestly
prays to God to consider his case and comfort him (v. 3, 4).
III. He assures
himself of an answer of peace, and therefore concludes the Psalm with joy and
triumph, because he concludes his deliverance to be as good as realized (v. 5,
6).
