Psalm 13:5
NET Bible
Chapter overview
Psalm 13 compresses the movement of lament: prolonged abandonment, urgent petition, renewed trust, and song. The circumstances remain serious, yet remembered faithful love enables praise before resolution is fully visible.
LamentWaitingTrustPraise
1How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me? How long will you pay no attention to me?
2How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight? How long will my enemy gloat over me?
3Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God! Revive me, or else I will die!
4Then my enemy will say, “I have defeated him!” Then my foes will rejoice because I am upended.
5But I trust in your faithfulness. May I rejoice because of your deliverance!
6I will sing praises to the Lord when he vindicates me.
