Text Information:

This paraphrase of Psalm 13 convincingly captures the psalm’s initial sense of self-centered desperation. Then, like sunlight breaking through clouds of despair, this mood is suddenly dispelled by an awareness of God’s mercy and love, which is so much greater than we can imagine.
