4 Lest mine enemy H341 say, H559 I have prevailed H3201 against him; and those that trouble H6862 me rejoice H1523 when I am moved. H4131
5 But I have trusted H982 in thy mercy; H2617 my heart H3820 shall rejoice H1523 in thy salvation. H3444
6 I will sing H7891 unto the LORD, H3068 because he hath dealt bountifully H1580 with me.

Commentary on Psalms 13 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 13
This psalm is the deserted soul's case and cure. Whether it was penned upon any particular occasion does not appear, but in general,
To the chief musician. A psalm of David.
Psa 13:1-6
David, in affliction, is here pouring out his soul before God; his address is short, but the method is very observable, and of use for direction and encouragement.
In singing this psalm and praying it over, if we have not the same complaints to make that David had, we must thank God that we have not, dread and deprecate his withdrawings, sympathize with those that are troubled in mind, and encourage ourselves in our most holy faith and joy.
