Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

Psalms 13:6

I will sing unto the Lord because He hath dealt bountifully with me, rewarding him richly in compensation for his season of trouble. That is David's firm confidence. Thus the heart of every believer, in the midst of the storms of life, experiences the wonderful peace of God which passes all understanding, which causes him to trust in his heavenly Father's mercy, no matter what may befall him.
