About this psalm
Lament · Trust · Attributed to David
Traditionally attributed to David, Psalm 13 is one of the shortest and most complete laments in Scripture, moving from complaint to petition to trust. Its circumstances are left unnamed, which is part of why so many have prayed it in their own long seasons. It gives words to waiting that feels endless.
In Christ
