Psalms 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.	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, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from 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 How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?	3 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
4 Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my eyes lest I sleep in death,	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 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed," lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.	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 trust in your faithfulness. Grant my heart joy in your help, That I may sing of the LORD, "How good our God has been to 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.
