Psalms 13-15
Chapter 13
Psalm 13[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 How long,(a)
Lord
? Will you forget me(b) forever?
How long will you hide your face(c) from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts(d)
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?(e)
3 Look on me(f) and answer,(g)
Lord
my God.
Give light to my eyes,(h) or I will sleep in death,(i)
4 and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,(j)"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.(k)
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;(l)
my heart rejoices in your salvation.(m)
6 I will sing(n) the
Lord
's praise,
for he has been good to me.
Chapter 14
Psalm 14(a)
For the director of music. Of David.
1 The fool[a] says in his heart,
"There is no God."(b)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The
Lord
looks down from heaven(c)
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(d)
any who seek God.(e)
3 All have turned away,(f) all have become corrupt;(g)
there is no one who does good,(h)
not even one.(i)
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?(j)
They devour my people(k) as though eating bread;
they never call on the
Lord
.(l)
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
but the
Lord
is their refuge.(m)
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(n)
When the
Lord
restores(o) his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
Chapter 15
Psalm 15
A psalm of David.
1
Lord
, who may dwell(a) in your sacred tent?(b)
Who may live on your holy mountain?(c)
2 The one whose walk is blameless,(d)
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth(e) from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,(f)
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors(g) those who fear the
Lord
;
who keeps an oath(h) even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;(i)
who does not accept a bribe(j) against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.(k)
