Psalms 13-15
Chapter 13
Psalm 13
A Plea for Deliverance
For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.
1
Lord
, how long will You forget me?
Forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?(a)
2 How long will I store up anxious concerns[a] within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me?(b)
3 Consider me and answer,
Lord
my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;(c)
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
4 My enemy will say, "I have triumphed over him,"
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.(d)
5 But I have trusted in Your faithful love;(e)
my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance.(f)
6 I will sing to the
Lord
because He has treated me generously.(g)
Chapter 14
Psalm 14
A Portrait of Sinners
For the choir director. Davidic.
1 The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist."(a)
They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.
There is no one who does good.
2 The
Lord
looks down from heaven on the human race(b)
to see if there is one who is wise,
one who seeks God.
3 All have turned away;
all alike have become corrupt.
There is no one who does good,
not even one.[a](c)
4 Will evildoers never understand?
They consume My people as they consume bread;(d)
they do not call on the
Lord
.(e)
5 Then[b] they will be filled with terror,
for God is with those who are[c] righteous.(f)
6 You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted,(g)
but the
Lord
is his refuge.(h)
7 Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion!
When the
Lord
restores the fortunes of His people,[d]
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.[e](i)
Chapter 15
Psalm 15
A Description of the Godly
A Davidic psalm.
1
Lord
, who can dwell in Your tent?(a)
Who can live on Your holy mountain?(b)
2 The one who lives honestly, practices righteousness,
and acknowledges the truth in his heart(c)—
3 who does not slander with his tongue,(d)
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor,(e)
4 who despises the one rejected by the
Lord
[a]
but honors those who fear the
Lord
,(f)
who keeps his word whatever the cost,(g)
5 who does not lend his money at interest(h)
or take a bribe against the innocent(i)—
the one who does these things will never be moved.(j)
