<p>On title, see JFB for <a href= "./Comm/jfb/Psa/Psa000.html"><i>Introduction</i></a>. The Psalmist, mourning God's absence and the triumph of his enemies, prays for relief before he is totally destroyed, and is encouraged to hope his trust will not be in vain.

<p><b>1.</b> The forms of expression and figure here used are frequent (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',9,12,18);">Psa 9:12, 18</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',10,11,12);">10:11-12</a>).

<br><br><b>How long...for ever</b>—Shall it be for ever?
|
|
<p id="Ps13_2"><b>2.</b> The counsels or devices of his heart afford no relief.
|
|
<p id="Ps13_3"><b>3. lighten mine eyes</b>—dim with weakness, denoting approaching death (compare <a onclick="return mV('1Sa',14,'27-29');">1Sa 14:27-29</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',6,7);">Psa 6:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',38,10);">38:10</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps13_4"><b>4. rejoice</b>—literally, "shout as in triumph."
|
|
<br><br><b>I am moved</b>—cast down from a firm position (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',10,6);">Psa 10:6</a>).
|
|
<p id="Ps13_5"><b>5, 6.</b> Trust is followed by rejoicing in the deliverance which God effects, and, instead of his enemy, he can lift the song of triumph.
