1 > How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh--how long?
Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don't forget the helpless.
Why do you forget us forever, [And] forsake us so long time?
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, Haven't these evils come on us because our God is not among us?
Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, My precious life from the lions.
> God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

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.
