Psalms 13 CPDV

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 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 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless.There is no one who does good; there is not even one. 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. Their feet are swift to shed blood.Grief and unhappiness are in their ways;and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

⁴ Will they never learn:all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

⁵ They have not called upon the Lord.There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.

⁶ For the Lord is with the just generation.You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.

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.
