The Psalms, starting at chapter 13
Psalm 13
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
{13:1} How long, Yahweh?
Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
{13:2} How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day?
How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
{13:3} Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
{13:4} Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him;"
Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
{13:5} But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
{13:6} I will sing to Yahweh,
because he has been good to me.
Psalm 14
For the Chief Musician. By David.
{14:1} The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt.
They have done abominable works.
There is none who does good.
{14:2} Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there were any who did understand,
who did seek after God.
{14:3} They have all gone aside.
They have together become corrupt.
There is none who does good, no, not one.
{14:4} Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and don't call on Yahweh?
{14:5} There they were in great fear,
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
{14:6} You frustrate the plan of the poor,
because Yahweh is his refuge.
{14:7} Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people,
then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Psalm 15
A Psalm by David.
{15:1} Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary?
Who shall live on your holy hill?
{15:2} He who walks blamelessly does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
{15:3} He who doesn't slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
{15:4} In whose eyes a vile man is despised,
but who honors those who fear Yahweh;
he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
{15:5} he who doesn't lend out his money for usury,
nor take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be shaken.
