How Long, O Lord?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
13:1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have 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.
This psalm looks a lot like psalm 10. The last verse shows David's trust and love. He praises the Lord.
And the other verses don't show hatred, but despair and sadness.

I have no idea how to illustrate this Psalm, but you found a perfectly beautiful and convincing way, Wil.
yes, some of the psalms do seem to show despair and sorrow. lovely illos.
Beautiful blooms and wonderful Psalms!
He alone listens!
I love your header photo, Wil. The photo of the snow laden tulips is amazing!
Perfect pictures to illustrate the psalm. Responsive reading of the psalms at evening prayer was always one of my favorite parts of churchgoing.
Wonderful pictures to this psalm! I also like your header photo very much:-)
Have a happy sunday!
Your pictures go very nicely with this psalm!

These were perfect photos Wil! Well done.
I like the contrast in the two photos. Flowers folded tightly against the cold snow, and flowers blooming freely in the warmth.... Beautifully done!
I can relate to your snow covered flowers and wonder how long with this winter keep going? It is time to see the light again!
