Psalms:13-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
How long wilt thou forget me ,
O LORD ?
for ever ?
how long wilt thou hide thy face from me ?
*
How long shall I take counsel in my soul ,
having sorrow in my heart daily ?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me ?
*
Consider and hear me ,
O LORD my God :
lighten mine eyes ,
lest I sleep the sleep of death ;
*
Lest mine enemy say ,
I have prevailed against him ;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved .
*
But I have trusted in thy mercy ;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation .
*
I will sing unto the LORD ,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me .
*
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 .
*
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men ,
to see if there were any that did understand ,
and seek God .
*
They are all gone aside ,
they are all together become filthy :
there is none that doeth good ,
no ,
not one .
*
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge ?
who eat up my people as they eat bread ,
and call not upon the LORD .
*
There were they in great fear :
for God is in the generation of the righteous .
*
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor ,
because the LORD is his refuge .
*
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion !
when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people ,
Jacob shall rejoice ,
and Israel shall be glad .
*
LORD ,
who shall abide in thy tabernacle ?
who shall dwell in thy holy hill ?
*
He that walketh uprightly ,
and worketh righteousness ,
and speaketh the truth in his heart .
*
He that backbiteth not with his tongue ,
nor doeth evil to his neighbour ,
nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour .
*
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned ;
but he honoureth them that fear the LORD .
He that sweareth to his own hurt ,
and changeth not .
*
He that putteth not out his money to usury ,
nor taketh reward against the innocent .
He that doeth these things shall never be moved .
*
Preserve me ,
O God :
for in thee do I put my trust .
*
O my soul ,
thou hast said unto the LORD ,
Thou art my Lord :
my goodness extendeth not to thee ;
*
But to the saints that are in the earth ,
and to the excellent ,
in whom is all my delight .
*
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god :
their drink offerings of blood will I not offer ,
nor take up their names into my lips .
*
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup :
thou maintainest my lot .
*
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ;
yea ,
I have a goodly heritage .
*
I will bless the LORD ,
who hath given me counsel :
my reins also instruct me in the night seasons .
*
I have set the LORD always before me :
because he is at my right hand ,
I shall not be moved .
*
Therefore my heart is glad ,
and my glory rejoiceth :
my flesh also shall rest in hope .
*
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell ;
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption .
*
Thou wilt shew me the path of life :
in thy presence is fulness of joy ;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore .
*
Hear the right ,
O LORD ,
attend unto my cry ,
give ear unto my prayer ,
that goeth not out of feigned lips .
