Psalm 13

1 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I will sing unto Jehovah, Because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 14

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

2 Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

3 They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

5 There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 15

1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

5 He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
