CommentWith confident invocation, in Psalm 13 the author addresses his complaint to God by asking him how long his worries will last.


Psalm 13 complete

[1] To the choir master. Psalm. Di Davide.

[2] How long, Lord, will you keep forgetting me? How long will you hide your face from me?


[3] How long will I experience trouble in my soul, sadness in my heart every moment? How long will the enemy triumph over me?

[4] Look, answer me, Lord my God, keep the light in my eyes, lest the sleep of death surprise me,

[5] so that my enemy does not say: "I won!" and let my adversaries not rejoice when I waver.

[6] In your mercy I have confided. Rejoice my heart in your salvation and sing to the Lord, who has benefited me.

Psalm 13 • How long, O Lord? (April 2024)
