Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 13:3-5

Psalms 13:3-5. Lighten mine eyes Because I find my own counsels insufficient, do thou enlighten my mind, and guide me by thy counsel into the right way of obtaining thy merciful help. Or, he means, Do thou revive, and comfort, and deliver me from the darkness of death, which is ready to come upon me, and to close mine eyes. Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him Namely, by my art or strength; which will reflect dishonour on thee, as if thou wert either unfaithful and unmindful... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:1-6

Psalms 11-13 Persevere . . . or give in?There came a time when David became tired of his continual flight from Saul, not just because it was wearying, but because it was cutting him off from the public worship places of God’s people (1 Samuel 26:19). His spiritual life was weakened and he gave in to the temptation to leave his own country for the safety of enemy Philistia (1 Samuel 27:1). This is the sort of temptation that David considers in Psalms 11:0, the temptation to go along with... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 13:5

THE THREE LINES OF REJOICING"But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness;My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.I will sing unto Jehovah, because he hath dealt bountifully with me."Here, "The storm has rolled away."[8] What ever thoughts of fear, doubt and depression had lain him low, he is now back in the land of faith and confidence in the Lord. What a joyful change! Such is always the result of prayer; and in that light, one cannot help wondering why the children of the loving Father are... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 13:1-6

Psalms 13Like several of the preceding psalms, this one is also a prayer that the psalmist offered in the midst of affliction. David rested in confidence in the Lord even though he saw no immediate relief from his predicament, possibly illness. This individual lament psalm designed for community use begins with sobbing and ends with singing."The Psalm consists of . . . three groups of decreasing magnitude. A long deep sigh is followed, as from a relieved breast, by an already much more gentle... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 13:5-6

3. Trust in eventual deliverance 13:5-6In spite of God’s lack of response, David continued to trust in the Lord’s loyal love. He was confident that Yahweh would eventually deliver him and that he would rejoice in the Lord and sing praises to Him. The basis of this confidence was God’s bountiful goodness to him in the past. The goodness of God is a recurring theme in the psalms."The actual song of praise would burst forth once deliverance had been accomplished, but the knowledge that deliverance... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:1-6

The prominence which the Ps. gives to one enemy (Psalms 13:2) among the writer’s numerous adversaries (Psalms 13:4), suggests the circumstances of David’s persecution by Saul (1 Samuel 21-27). The Psalmist begins in agitation and despondency, and ends in tranquillity and faith.1. PBV ’How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever?’ A single question instead of the double one of AV. ’Forget for ever’ means ’continue to forget.’ The seemingly self-contradictory form of the question reflects the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 13:5

(5) But I.—Emphatic, but as for me. The most complete peace has taken the place of the despair with which the psalm opens. The rhythm of the Hebrew seems to express the restfulness of the thought. “It hath a dying fall.” The LXX. and Vulg. (comp. the Prayer Book version) have an additional clause not found in any MS., “Yea, I will praise the name of the Lord most high.” read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 13:1-6

Reasons for Praise Psalms 13:6 There is a reason for singing. The singing that has no reason is really not singing. Why do we sing? what moves the tongue to utterance? Is it because it is time to sing? then the song will be poor and formal. Is it because we are expected to sing? then will the very pith of the song go out of it. Do we sing because we cannot help it? then there may be strong, tender, heaven-seeking music. 'I will sing unto the Lord, because....' What a wonderful misconception... read more
