Psalms 13

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?	2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;	3 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.	4 Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.	5 Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.	6 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
	7 Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
