Psalm Ps. 13. This is an individual lament. The worshiper is on the verge of despair.
Ps. 13:1 How long? The question, repeated four times, is not asking for information but is expressing despair. If this psalm were a sermon, it would explain that the abandonment described here (forget, hide . . . face) is only apparent. But a song, whose goal is to describe feelings, does not need the same level of precision as a sermon.
Ps. 13:2 The enemy is typically one who hates. The enemy’s hatred of the singer’s faithfulness leads him to gloat over the singer’s misfortunes.
Ps. 13:3 For God to consider and answer would be for him to relieve the singer’s circumstances.
Ps. 13:5–6 Confidence in the steadfast love of God, as revealed in his covenant with Israel (Ex. 34:6), leads to a trusting expectation of salvation. Compare Ps. 3:2 and note.
