TSK · Psalms 13:2

Saul became even more afraid of him. Saul continued to be at odds with David from then on.

So the king said to me,“Why do you appear to be depressed when you aren’t sick? What can this be other than sadness of heart?” This made me very fearful.

Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep, that you must put me under guard?

If I say,‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,’

The Inaccessibility and Power of God“If I go to the east, he is not there, and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.

You defend the fatherless and oppressed, so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them.

All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads.

For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

I will pray to God, my high ridge:“Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?”

How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted.

If I say,“My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O LORD, supports me.

Show us favor, O LORD, show us favor! For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.

Certainly my enemies chase me. They smash me into the ground. They force me to live in dark regions, like those who have been dead for ages.

Surely, he ate in darkness every day of his life, and he suffered greatly with sickness and anger.

Why must I continually suffer such painful anguish? Why must I endure the sting of their insults like an incurable wound? Will you let me down when I need you like a brook one goes to for water, but that cannot be relied on?”

ה(He) Her foes subjugated her; her enemies are at ease. For the LORD afflicted her because of her many acts of rebellion. Her children went away captive before the enemy.

Why do you keep on forgetting us? Why do you forsake us so long?

Then he said to them,“My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”

Instead your hearts are filled with sadness because I have said these things to you.

In fact he became so ill that he nearly died. But God showed mercy to him– and not to him only, but also to me– so that I would not have grief on top of grief.
