Welcome to Lessons From the Psalms with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Psalm 13. This psalm was written by King David. In this psalm, David is obviously very troubled. Things are not going his way, and he is asking God when He is going to intervene on his behalf? In verses 3 & 4, David is pleading with God not to let his adversaries triumph over him, and not to allow him to die in his present situation. But, in verse 5, things turn around, and hope is restored. Friends, if you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior we can have the hope mentioned in verses 5 & 6. If you have not yet received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you do NOT have this hope - and the psalm may very well end after verse 4. The Bible tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. God is with us - and He cares for us. We can put our trust in Him, and the salvation which only He offers us.
