5 And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.
So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
And Hannah prayeth, and saith: `My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation.
yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ -- to life age-during;
Many `are' the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted. Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
How precious `is' Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God. What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.
`Kaph.' Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.

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.
