Psalm 13
I’ve been listening to more of Shane Barnard and Shane Everett - this time their acoustical live release, An Evening with Shane & Shane. Of note is that they have 3 songs based on Psalms on this particular album. My favorite of the 3 Psalms on the album is Psalm 13:
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
Psalm 13 (NIV)
Listening to it I close my eyes and try to picture what this Psalm must have sounded to the Israelites when it was sung by David and others, what instruments would have been played, how David the worship leader led in singing of this prayer to God.

I love this post. Thanks for sharing. Yes, it’s like we (or at least I) “know” that God will be there and hear us in the dark, hard times but we wonder…”will we really hear him?”

Thanks for kind words, Kili. I wonder it myself sometimes - but isn’t that what the Enemy wants us to do?
Glad you stumbled upon me via the Family Friendly Blogroll…come by again!
