5 But I have had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation.
So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.
But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.
And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.
For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope. Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.
Then I will go up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, O God, my God. Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.
<CAPH> My soul is wasted with desire for your salvation: but I have hope in your word.

Commentary on Psalms 13 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 13
This psalm is the deserted soul's case and cure. Whether it was penned upon any particular occasion does not appear, but in general,
To the chief musician. A psalm of David.
Psa 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.
In singing this psalm and praying it over, if we have not the same complaints to make that David had, we must thank God that we have not, dread and deprecate his withdrawings, sympathize with those that are troubled in mind, and encourage ourselves in our most holy faith and joy.
