But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 13 of Psalms. Psalm 13 shows especially clearly the movement from lament to trust. The repeated question of how long abandonment will continue expresses a genuine experience of divine delay. After describing fear, sadness, and threat, the psalmist chooses to trust in God’s mercy and ends by singing because of the salvation received. The change does not consist in denying suffering, but in reinterpreting it in light of the Lord’s faithful character.

daß nicht mein Feind rühme, er sei mein mächtig geworden, und meine Widersacher sich nicht freuen, daß ich niederlage.
Mas yo en tu misericordia he confiado: Alegrarase mi corazón en tu salud.
Pero yo he confiado en tu amor leal; mi corazón se alegrará en tu salvación.
Moi, j'ai confiance en ta bonté, J'ai de l'allégresse dans le coeur, à cause de ton salut;
Ora, quant’è a me, io mi confido nella tua benignità; Il mio cuore giubilerà nella tua liberazione;
Mas eu confio na tua benignidade; na tua salvação se alegrará o meu coração.
但我倚靠你的慈愛, 我的心因你的救恩快樂。
