大卫的诗、交与伶长。耶和华阿、你忘记我要到几时呢．要到永远么．你掩面不顾我要到几时呢． 我心里筹算、终日愁苦、要到几时呢．我的仇敌升高压制我、要到几时呢。 耶和华我的 神阿、求你看顾我、应允我、使我眼目光明、免得我沉睡至死． 免得我的仇敌说、我胜了他．免得我的敌人在我摇动的时候喜乐。 但我倚靠你的慈爱．我的心因你的救恩快乐。 我要向耶和华歌唱、因他用厚恩待我。
English
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

诗篇 13 的祷告从长久等待中的呼喊，走向对神慈爱的倚靠。哀诉与信靠出现在同一首诗里，提醒我们不必隐藏悲伤才能祷告。 亲人离世后，平常的小事也会突然让我想起他。哀伤使熟悉的生活变得陌生；哭泣也可以成为向神倾诉的方式。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：写下一段关于亲人的记忆，愿意时与人分享。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
Psalm 13 moves from cries during prolonged waiting toward trust in God's mercy. Lament and trust belong in the same psalm; grief need not be hidden before praying. Since my loved one died, ordinary moments unexpectedly bring them to mind. Grief makes familiar life feel strange. Tears can be a way of speaking to God. Begin with a small concrete response today: Write one memory of your loved one and share it if you wish. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
