As the Church carries out its mission in its own community and among all nations, it's

critical that this mission is carried out in response to God's Word.

Welcome to the Radical with David Platt podcast,

the latest sermons from teacher, author, and pastor

David Platt delivered weekly.

As always, you can find thousands

of more gospel-centered missions-minded resources over at our website radical.net.

In this message from Psalm 13, David Platt helps us think about how to understand and respond to

this Psalm by memorization and meditation, by application, by prayer, and by sharing

its truth with others. The Psalmists cry for help and trust in the Lord should lead us to

cry out to God and to rely on his steadfast love.

For the last two weeks David has preached sermons titled We Glorify God by Making Disciples

and today is the third in the series among all nations beginning in greater

Washington DC with today's text from Psalm 13. All right let's do what we've done the

last couple weeks I'll put it up here on the screen. Let's read

Psalm 13 out loud together across all of our campuses. Here goes. Psalm chapter, verse one. Let's read it out loud.

How long, oh Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day.

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and answer me, O Lord, my God, light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death.

Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him.

Lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken but I have trusted in your steadfast love my heart shall

rejoice in your salvation I will sing to the Lord because he has dealt bountifully with me.
