Abstract

Psalm 13 is a repetition which ends by moving to serenity as part of God's help. The method used is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach, especially poetry Genre. This study aims to explain a repetition of the psalmist as an emphasis on supplication to God which has an impact on theological values. This article finds the psalmist's complaint three times repeated; first, the expression of the psalmist's long-suffering despair, the second the psalmist sincerely hoped for deliverance from God which could soon be realized. Then there is a repetition of the salvation of God Himself, who saves from the world of death, illuminates the eyes (verse 3), and the third does good things (v. 5b).
