TSK · Psalms 13:2

Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.

The king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart." Then I was very much afraid.

Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?

If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;'

"If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can't find him;

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more. For the Chief Musician. By David.

All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.

Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you indeed be to me as a deceitful [brook], as waters that fail?

Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; for Yahweh has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.

Why do you forget us forever, [And] forsake us so long time?

Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."

But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
