RRB notes on Psalm 13

Psalms 13 KJV

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? [a]

[a] Deut.31:17; Matt. 13:44; Psa. 10:11, 88:14, 104:29; Isa. 8:17; etc.

2. How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3. Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4. Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
