5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exults in Yahweh; My horn is exalted in Yahweh; My mouth is enlarged over my enemies; Because I rejoice in your salvation.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, But he who trusts in Yahweh, loving kindness shall surround him.
For our heart rejoices in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you.
How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

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.
