Psalms 13

1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will my enemy dominate me?
3 Consider me and answer, LORD my God. Restore brightness to my eyes; otherwise, I will sleep in death.
4 My enemy will say, "I have triumphed over him," and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.
6 I will sing to the LORD because he has treated me generously.

Summary: How Long, LORD?

David moves from anguished questioning of God's apparent absence to renewed trust in His unfailing love.
