Psalms 13 [Commentary] 
|
| 1. |
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD ? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
|
| 2. |
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
|
| 3. |
Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
|
| 4. |
And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.
|
| 5. |
But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
|
| 6. |
I will sing to the LORD,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
|

Psalms 14 [Commentary] [Map]
|
| 1. |
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
|
| 2. |
The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.
|
| 3. |
They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
|
| 4. |
Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?
|
| 5. |
There they are in great dread,
For God is with the righteous generation.
|
| 6. |
You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the LORD is his refuge.
|
| 7. |
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
|
| |
Psalms 15 [Commentary]
|
| 1. |
A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy hill?
|
| 2. |
He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
And speaks truth in his heart.
|
| 3. |
He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
|
| 4. |
In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But who honors those who fear the LORD;
He swears to his own hurt and does not change;
|
| 5. |
He does not put out his money at interest,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
