Psalms 13
Trusting in God's Unfailing Love
In Psalm 13, the psalmist cries out to God in distress and despair, feeling forgotten and abandoned. Despite his feelings, he chooses to embrace faith and trust in God's unfailing love, praising Him for His goodness, mercy and salvation.
1{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from 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 and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
