How long

Week 2 · Tuesday · Psalm 13: How Long, O LORD?

For today

Four times this psalm asks how long. God does not rebuke the question, and the psalm keeps it in Scripture for everyone who needs to ask it.

Begin with these verses

^{verse 1}How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? ^{verse 2}How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Psalm 13:1–2BSB

^{verse 5}But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation. ^{verse 6}I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Psalm 13:5–6BSB
