This guided lectio divina of Psalm 13 (NASB) corresponds to Ruth 1:1-5 and serves as a primer for study of this passage. I imagine this might be how Naomi felt and prayed after losing her husband and both sons in a foreign land. 

Make sure to stay tuned for parts two and three, which will dig into the social, historical and literary study of Ruth 1:1-5.
