Psalm 13

What should I learn from this chapter?

• It is difficult to climb out of a pit by oneself. It is easier to relax and know that God is working on your behalf.

Trust in the Salvation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Psalm 13:¹ How long, O Lord (Yᵊhōvâ)? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Psalm 13:² How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Psalm 13:³ Consider and hear me, O Lord (Yᵊhōvâ) my God (‘ĕlōhîm);
Enlighten my eyes,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

Psalm 13:⁴ Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Psalm 13:⁵ But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

There is great peace of heart when all things are put into the hand of God’s Salvation, Jesus, who’s name means “Salvation”

Psalm 13:⁶ I will sing to the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ),
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
