Pastor Doug’s sermon from Psalm 13, delivered August 20, 2023

Psalm 13 (NRSV)

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2
How long must I bear pain[a] in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4
and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;
my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

5
But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6
I will sing to the Lord
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
