13:1 < (a) He declares that his afflictions lasted a long time, and that his faith did not waver. 13:2 How long shall I take {b} counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? (b) Changing my purposes as the sick man does his place. 13:4 Lest mine enemy say, I have {c} prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. (c) Which might turn to God's dishonour: if he did not defend his. 13:5 But I have trusted in thy {d} mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. (d) The mercy of God is the cause of our salvation. 13:6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath {e} dealt bountifully with me. (e) Both by the benefits past and by others to come. | |
