Psalm 13:1–15:5

^1aHow long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? ^afor ever?

How long wilt thou ^aahide thy face from me?

²How long shall I take counsel in my soul,

Having sorrow in my heart daily?

How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

³Consider and hear me, O Lord my God:

^bLighten mine eyes, ^clest I sleep the sleep of death;

^4dLest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;

And those that trouble me rejoice when ^eI am moved.

⁵But I have ^ftrusted in thy mercy;

^fgMy heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

⁶I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath ^hdealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 14

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

^1aThe ^bfool hath said in his heart, ^cThere is no God.

^dThey are corrupt, they have done abominable works,

^eThere is none that doeth good.

²The Lord ^flooked down from heaven upon the children of men,

To see if there were ^eany ^gthat did understand, and ^hseek God.

^3eThey are all gone aside, they are all together become ^†filthy:

There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴Have all the workers of iniquity ⁱno knowledge?

Who ^keat up my people as they eat bread,

And ^lcall not upon the Lord.

^5mThere ^†were they in great fear:

ⁿFor God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶ⁿYe have shamed the counsel of the poor,

Because the Lord is his ^orefuge.

^7†Oh that the salvation of Israel were come ^pout of Zion!

When the Lord ^qbringeth back the captivity of his people,

Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 15

A Psalm of David.

¹Lord, ^aWho shall ^†abide in thy tabernacle?

Who shall dwell in ^bthy holy hill?

^2cHe that walketh uprightly, and ^ccworketh righteousness,

And ^dspeaketh the truth in his heart.

^3eHe that ^fbackbiteth not with his tongue,

Nor doeth evil to his neighbour,

Nor ^||taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

⁴In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;

But he honoureth them that fear the Lord.

He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

⁵He that putteth not out his money to ^gusury,

^hNor taketh reward against the innocent.

He that doeth these things ⁱshall never be moved.
