PSALM XIII.

I.

How long wilt Thou constantly
Forget me, Jehovah?

How long wilt Thou hide Thy countenance from
me?

How long must I take counsel within me,
And daily lay grief to my heart?
How long shall my foe be exalted over me?

II.

God:

Observe me, and hear me, Jehovah, my
Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep on to death.

Lest mine enemies say, "I have vanquish'd
him:"

And my foe rejoice at my fall.

III.

5

But as for me, I trust in Thy mercy :

6

My heart exults in Thy salvation.

I will sing to Jehovah, who hath dealt with me

bountifully:

Yea, I will psalmodize to the Name of Jehovah the

Highest.

PSALM XIV.

TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN. A PSALM OF DAVID.

I.

THE depraved hath said in his heart,

"There is no God."

They have made their doings corrupt and abominable :

There is none that doeth good.

3

4

A wise one, a seeker of God.

The whole is gone: they are rancid together:

There is none that doeth good :

Not even one.

II.

Shall not all who work iniquity
Know by experience?

Eating up my people as bread,

They call not upon Jehovah.

6

The righteous generation.

Will ye frustrate the poor man's counsel,
Although Jehovah's his refuge?

III.

7 O that the salvation of Israel were given from Sion! When Jehovah restores His captive people,

Shall Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.

PSALM XV.

A PSALM OF DAVID.

I.

1 JEHOVAH, Who shall abide in Thy tent? Who dwell in Thy holy hill?

4

5

Against his neighbour.

III.

In his eyes the vile is despised:

But he honours them that fear Jehovah.

He swears to his hurt, and changes not :
He gives not his money for usury,

And takes not a bribe against the innocent.
Whoso doeth these things

Shall not be moved for ever.

PSALM XVI.

A SECRET OF DAVID.

I.

PRESERVE me, O God; for I make Thee my refuge.

II.

My soul, thou hast said to Jehovah,
"Thou art my Lord:

"I have no good out of Thee :"

3

In common with saints upon earth,

Them and the excellent,

In whom is all my delight.

III.

4 Their sorrows are many, who purchase another, I will not pour out their libations of blood: Nor will I take up their names on my lips.

5

Jehovah is the Portion

Of my heritage, and my Cup:
Thyself makest lordly my lot.

IV.

6 The lines are fallen to me in bliss: Yea, mine is a goodly heritage.

7

I will bless Jehovah, who counsels me :
Yea, at night my thoughts admonish me.

V.

8 I set Jehovah before me constantly:

9

Because He is on my right hand,

I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad,

And my glory rejoices:

My flesh also rests securely.

VI.

10 For Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades : Nor suffer Thy Holy One

To see corruption.

11 The path of life Thou wilt make known to me: Fulness of joys in Thy presence:

At Thy right hand pleasures for ever.
