13:1 1 David as it were overcome with sundry and new afflictions, fleeth to God as his only refuge, 3 and so at the length being encouraged through God’s promises, he conceiveth most sure confidence against the extreme horrors of death. To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, forever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
13:3 Behold, and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death.
13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: and they that afflict me, rejoice, when I slide.
