Psalm 13-14
21st Century King James Version
13 How long wilt Thou forget me, O Lord? For ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 lest mine enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
14 The fool hath said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; they have done abominable works; there is none that doeth good.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand and seek God.
3 They have all turned aside; they are all together become filthy. There is none that doeth good; no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread and call not upon the Lord?
5 There were they in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back His people from captivity, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
