Psalms 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINRevised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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.1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy 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.2 How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted 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.3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of 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.4 lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed over him"; lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5 Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known.5 But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 There is no fear of God before their eyes.6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
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.
