Psalm-13:1-4

Matthew Henry

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 Gill

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

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:3

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God ,.... The psalmist amidst all his distresses rightly applies to God by prayer, claims his interest in him as his covenant God, which still continued notwithstanding all his darkness, desertions, and afflictions; and entreats him to "consider" his affliction and trouble, and deliver him out of it; to consider his enemies, how many and mighty they were; and his own weakness his frame, that he was but dust, and unable to stand against them: or to "look" ... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 13:4

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him ,.... Which is an argument God takes notice of; and for which reason he does not give up his people into the hands of their enemies; see Deuteronomy 32:27 . The Chaldee paraphrase interprets this of the evil imagination or corruption of nature, and represents it as a person, as the Apostle Paul does in Romans 7:15 ; and which may be said to prevail, when it pushes on to sin, and hinders doing good, and carries captive; and it may be... 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

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:3

Consider and hear me - Rather, answer me. I have prayed; I am seeking thy face I am lost without thee; I am in darkness; my life draws nigh to destruction; if I die unforgiven, I die eternally. O Lord my God, consider this; hear and answer, for thy name's sake. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 13:4

Let mine enemy say - Satan's ordinary method in temptation is to excite strongly to sin, to blind the understanding and inflame the passions; and when he succeeds, he triumphs by insults and reproaches. None so ready then to tell the poor soul how deeply, disgracefully, and ungratefully it has sinned! Reader, take heed. When I am moved - When moved from my steadfastness and overcome by sin. O what desolation is made by the fall of a righteous soul! Itself covered with darkness and... 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
