Psalm 12
1 HELP, LORD! For principled and godly people are here no more; faithfulness and the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.2 To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth; with flattering lips and double heart [deceitfully] they speak.3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting,4 Those who say, With our tongues we prevail; our lips are our own [to command at our will]--who is lord and master over us?5 Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.6 The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.7 You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.8 The wicked walk or prowl about on every side, as vileness is exalted [and baseness is rated high] among the sons of men.
Psalm 13
1 HOW LONG will You forget me, O Lord? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?2 How long must I lay up cares within me and have sorrow in my heart day after day? How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face in the pitchlike darkness], lest I sleep the sleep of death,4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him, and those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.5 But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident in Your mercy and loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits in Your salvation.6 I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 14
1 THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right. 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who understood, dealt wisely, and sought after God, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him [of vital necessity].3 They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread and who do not call on the Lord?5 There they shall be in great fear [literally--dreading a dread], for God is with the generation of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright and in right standing with Him).6 You [evildoers] would put to shame and confound the plans of the poor and patient, but the Lord is his safe refuge.7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord shall restore the fortunes of His people, then Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
