Bible Comments

PSALM 13 The occasion of this Psalm was David's deep and long-continued distresses, from which he prays for deliverance. David complaineth to God of his delay to help, Psalms 13:1, and the enemies triumph, Psalms 13:2. He, praying for preventing grace, Psalms 13:3,4 professeth his trust in God, Psalms 13:5, and boasteth of Divine mercy, Psalms 13:6. How long wilt thou forget, i.e. neglect or disregard, me ? for ever I how long wilt thou withdraw thy favour and assistance?

Psalms 13:1

1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
