#Psalmtweet #Psalter 13:2

 The ornament in bar 5 after the mid-verse break is called shalshelet. It occurs 46 times: 4 times in Torah, once in Ezra, once in Isaiah, once in Amos, and 39 times in the three books, 29 in Psalms, 4 in Proverbs and 6 times in Job. It is used on the return to the tonic only in the three books.

The psalm begins with a plea and ends with hope. Sung here.
עַד־אָ֣נָה יְ֭הוָה תִּשְׁכָּחֵ֣נִי נֶ֑צַח
עַד־אָ֓נָה ׀ תַּסְתִּ֖יר אֶת־פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי
2 How long please Yahweh will you forget me? perpetually?
How long please will you hide your face from me?
