Psalms 13; Psalms 14; Psalms 15

1 (12-1) Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

2 (12-2) How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

3 (12-3) How long shall my enemy be exalted over Me?

4 (12-4) Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death:

5 (12-5) Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved:

6 (12-6) But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high.

1 (13-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David.> The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.

2 (13-2) The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

3 (13-3) They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good: no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

4 (13-4) Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?

5 (13-5) They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

6 (13-6) For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man; but the Lord is his hope.

7 (13-7) Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

1 (14-1) <A psalm for David.> Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

2 (14-2) He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

3 (14-3) He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

4 (14-4) In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

5 (14-5) He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.
