Sing to the Lord

For years I have believed that King David must have been bipolar. When I read his writings in Psalms and studied his life in I&II Samuel, I noticed that he had very high highs and very low lows. He was either praising God exuberantly or he was in the depths of despair. He was probably just a charismatic personality, and things weren't worth writing down unless they were something that he felt deeply about. Whether coming from a high or a low, David usually came back to a correct perspective of God. Psalm 13 was a good reminder of God's unfailing love today.

Psalm 13

For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?
2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

3 Turn and answer me, O LORD my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
4 Don't let my enemies gloat, saying, "We have defeated him!"
Don't let them rejoice at my downfall.

5 But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
6 I will sing to the LORD
because he is good to me.
