Psalm 13 - 15

Ever have that feeling that "God has abandoned me forever?" David did. He begs in Psalm 13 for God to return and bring His favor with Him. At the end of the psalm, he rejoices as he remembers that God never abandons His child. He always deals in a bountiful way with them.

In the fourteenth Psalm, David recounts the way of the fool. Only a fool would claim that God does not exist, that he can do as he pleases without God seeing, that he understands as much as God. David ends this contemplation with a desire to see God's promised salvation of His people.

Psalm 15 relates the character of the blessed man, the one who is blessed to abide in God's presence. His total character is reflective of God's character - honoring those who honor God and shunning those who despise Him. The one with this type relationship and character will not be moved.
