Psalms 13
The book of Psalms contains some of the greatest words ever written, sung, and prayed. The psalms are often lyrics of songs for worship. When you read the Psalms, try to imagine the movement of the people at worship in the Temple. Also, remember that the Psalms are poetry. Therefore, they are more to be proclaimed than explained.
How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
PSALMS 13:1
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
PSALMS 13:2
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
PSALMS 13:3
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
PSALMS 13:4
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
PSALMS 13:5
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
PSALMS 13:6
