诗篇 13:1-2 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 13:1-6

David, in affliction, is here pouring out his soul before God; his address is short, but the method is very observable, and of use for direction and encouragement. I. His troubles extort complaints (Ps. 13:1, 2); and the afflicted have liberty to pour out their complaint before the Lord, Ps. 102:1 title. It is some ease to a troubled spirit to give vent to its griefs, especially to give vent to them at the throne of grace, where we are sure to find one who is afflicted in the afflictions of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:1

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever ?.... When God does not immediately deliver his people from their enemies, or help them out of an affliction; when he does not discover his love, communicate his grace, apply the blessings and promises of his covenant as usual; and when he does not visit them in his usual manner, and so frequently as he has formerly done, they are ready to conclude he has forgotten them; and sometimes this continues long, and then they fear they are forgotten... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:2

How long shall I take counsel in my soul ,.... Or "put it" F19 אשית "ponam", Pagninus, Montanus, Munster, Vatablus. ; to take counsel of good men and faithful friends, in matters of moment and difficulty, is safe and right; and it is best of all to take counsel of God, who is wonderful in it, and guides his people with it; but nothing is worse than for a man to take counsel of his own heart, or only to consult himself; for such counsel often casts a man down, and he is ashamed of it... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:1

How long wilt thou forget me - The words אנה עד ad anah , to what length, to what time, translated here how long? are four times repeated in the two first verses, and point out at once great dejection and extreme earnestness of soul. Hide thy face from me? - How long shall I be destitute of a clear sense of thy approbation? read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:2

Take counsel in my soul - I am continually framing ways and means of deliverance; but they all come to naught, because thou comest not to my deliverance. When a soul feels the burden and guilt of sin, it tries innumerable schemes of self-recovery; but they are all useless. None but God can speak peace to a guilty conscience. Mine enemy be exalted - Satan appears to triumph while the soul lies under the curse of a broken law. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:1

Verse 1 1.How long, O Jehovah. It is very true that David was so greatly hated by the generality of people, on account of the calumnies and false reports which had been circulated against him, that almost all men judged that God was not less hostile to him than Saul (270) and his other enemies were. But here he speaks not so much according to the opinion of others, as according to the feeling of his own mind, when he complains of being neglected by God. Not that the persuasion of the truth of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:2

Verse 2 2.How long shall I take counsel in my soul? We know that men in adversity give way to discontent, and look around them, first to one quarter, and then to another, in search of remedies. Especially, upon seeing that they are destitute of all resources, they torment themselves greatly, and are distracted by a multitude of thoughts; and in great dangers, anxiety and fear compel them to change their purposes from time to time, when they do not find any plan upon which they can fix with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 13:1

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? God cannot forget, but man often feels as if he were forgotten of him (comp. Psalms 42:9 ; Psalms 44:24 ; Lamentations 5:20 ). David seems to have feared that God had forgotten him "for ever." How long wilt then hide thy face from me! (comp. Psalms 30:7 ; Isaiah 1:15 ; Ezekiel 39:29 ). The "light of God's countenance" shining on us is the greatest blessing that we know (see Psalms 4:6 ; Psalms 31:18 ; Psalms 44:4 ; Psalms... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 13:1

God's averted face. The hiding of God's face is a sore trial to his people. If they did not love him, they could bear it; but as they love him so much, it is a great affliction. It may be said of such trials, that they are still harder to bear under the gospel. For the very fact that God once dwelt with men—going in and out among them as one of themselves, loving them, and doing them good—makes the mystery of his silence now the deeper, and our distress the greater. "Thou didst hide thy... read more
