Psalms 13
David laments YHWH's apparent forgetfulness and hidden face, repeated cries of 'How long?' over his soul's sorrow and enemy's exaltation (vv. 1-2), pleading for enlightenment lest he sleep in death and foes rejoice (vv. 3-4). He trusts in YHWH's mercy, rejoices in salvation, and vows to sing praise for YHWH's bountiful dealings (vv. 5-6).[1][2][3]
