Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 13
For the music director. A psalm of David.
How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?Psa 77:7; Hab 1:2
How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?
Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength,13:3. Literally, “give light to my eyes.” Bright eyes were seen as indicative of good health. otherwise I'm going to die,Ezr 9:8; Jer 51:39
and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.
But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.Isa 66:14; Psa 103:2
I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!Isa 66:14; Psa 103:2
