rejoicing

This is how I feel:

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look on me and answer, O Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
But I trust in Your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has been good to me.
- Psalm 13

Keep me safe, O God,
for in You I take refuge.
I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
apart from You I have no good thing."
As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.

Lord, You have assigned me my portion and my cup;
You have made my lot secure.

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me.
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body will also rest secure.

- Psalm 16:1-3,5,7-9

It's hard to explain how I can say that God "hides His face" from me, then say that He has been good to me. But right now I understand what David must have felt as he wrote that psalm. No matter what he was feeling , he could not deny God's goodness toward him. He could rejoice in who God is. Despite how depleted I feel now, I cannot deny God's goodness toward me. His unfailing love overshadows what I feel, my heart is secure because I know that He is my portion. Even now, my heart can rejoice in His faithfulness!! How can I better explain how amazing this is?? Praise God!!
