Psa 13:2 | TNotes | STEP | 13:2 A sense of anguish and sorrow closes off any perspective of hope (6:3 ). Unless the Lord answers the psalmist’s prayers (22:1 ), death seems inescapable, torturous, and slow (6:6 ; 32:3 ; 55:4 ; 61:2 ; 102:5 ; 116:3 ). The psalmist hardly knows how to pray; he longs for God’s redemption (25:17-18 ; 31:10 ; 38:8 ; 39:2 ).
