Psalms 13:4-5

4 nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis

5 Dominum non invocaverunt illic trepidaverunt timore %ubi non erat timor;

Psalms 13:4-5 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. According to Theodoret this psalm was written by David, not when he fled from Saul, but from Absalom; and gives this reason for it, what happened to him from Saul was before his sin, and therefore he could speak with great boldness; but what befell him from Absalom was after it, and therefore mourning and groans were mixed with his words.
