Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:1-6

Psalms 13:1-6THIS little psalm begins in agitation, and ends in calm. The waves run high at first, but swiftly sink to rest, and at last lie peacefully glinting in sunshine. It falls into three strophes, of which the first (Psalms 13:1-2) is the complaint of endurance strained almost to giving way; the second (Psalms 13:3-4) is prayer which feeds fainting faith; and the third (Psalms 13:5-6, which are one in the Hebrew) is the voice of confidence, which in the midst, of trouble, makes future... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 13:1-6

Psalms 13:0 1. How long? Answer me, Jehovah (Psalms 13:1-4 ) 2. The victory of faith (Psalms 13:5-6 ) Psalms 13:1-4 . Four times “How long?” The trial of faith becomes more severe. Sorrow is in the heart and an enemy is outside. Has then Jehovah forgotten? The hearts begin to despair; an answer is demanded, it must come “lest I sleep the sleep of death.” Psalms 13:5-6 . But here comes the change. Faith triumphs and is victorious. “I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:1-6

Psalms 11:0 A song of trust. The declaration “In the Lord put I my trust” (Psalms 11:1 ) is buttressed by the reason (Psalms 11:7 ), while all between describes the condition in which David finds himself. Urged to flee from his enemies (Psalms 11:1 ), he shows the futility of the attempt (Psalms 11:2 ). The moral foundations are being undermined (Psalms 11:3 ), and only Jehovah is able to discriminate and judge (Psalms 11:4-6 ). Psalms 12:0 The evil speaker. The close relation between this... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 13:1-6

The Joy of Trust Psalms 13:0 "How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me." ( Psa 13:1 ). This psalm begins with winter and ends with summer. It is most noteworthy, as we have already seen, how the Psalmist often sings himself out of his trouble. The hymn begins in a low muffled tone expressive of sorrow, almost hopeless, and gradually the tone heightens until the closing verse becomes a burst of rapture and thankfulness. Surely it is well even... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 13:5-6

See how the note is changed. Yes! when a soul is thus enabled to act faith upon Jesus, and the divine promises in him, there will be soon cause to praise and sing aloud of God's faithfulness and bounty. But do not fail, Reader, to observe with me what the joy of the soul here is. Not that his frames were altered; not that his heart was enlarged; not that more light was brought into his soul: these things he had, and these were all precious; but these were the effects and not the cause of his... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:5

Where. This expression refers to there, which is in Hebrew, though this last part of the verse is wanting. (Capel) --- It is in Psalm lii. 6, and this renders the former omission (ver. 3.) more credible. (Berthier) --- When Cyrus approached to besiege Babylon, Nabonides, the king, met him, and gave him battle; but losing the victory, he, in a panic, retreated to Borsippe, and abandoned the defence of his capital. (Berosus cited by Josephus, contra Apion i.) The citizens were in the utmost... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 13:1-6

A Prayer for Relief in the Midst of Trouble. David may well apply as a type, so far as his experience during the persecution by Saul is concerned, to the believing sufferer and Christian martyr of every age. To the chief musician, to be used in the Temple services, a psalm of David. v. 1. How long wilt Thou forget me, O Lord? Forever? It seemed to David, in the anguish of his spirit during the long period when he was hunted almost like a wild beast, that the Lord had entirely forsaken him. ... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 13:1-6

the Bounty of God and the Folly of Men Psalms 13:1-6 ; Psalms 14:1-7 The first of these psalms evidently dates from the Sauline persecutions, 1 Samuel 19:1 . Four times the persecuted soul cries, How long! The psalm begins in deepest dejection, but clears as it proceeds. Prayer often proves to be the ladder from the deepest dungeon to the more radiant day. We find here depression, Psalms 13:1-2 ; supplication, Psalms 13:3-4 ; assurance, Psalms 13:5-6 . Do not carry your anxieties in... read more
