Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 13
1To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 3Consider, answer me, O Jehovah myGod! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death; 4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved. 5As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation. 6I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
