Psalms 13:1-2
Summary for Ps 13:1-6: Ps 13 a The psalmist’s piercing cry for help becomes a confident song of hope.Summary for Ps 13:1-2: 13:1-2 b How long? The fourfold repetition expresses agitation and deep anguish (79:5 c).
13:2 d A sense of anguish and sorrow closes off any perspective of hope (6:3 e). Unless the Lord answers the psalmist’s prayers (22:1 f), death seems inescapable, torturous, and slow (6:6 g; 32:3 h; 55:4 i; 61:2 j; 102:5 k; 116:3 l). The psalmist hardly knows how to pray; he longs for God’s redemption (25:17-18 m; 31:10 n; 38:8 o; 39:2 p).
