Psalm 12
To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. 1 Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.
2They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lip, with a double heart, do they speak.
3Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who [is] lord over us?
5Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set [him] in safety, at whom they puff.
6The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8The wicked walk about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the children of men.
Psalm 13
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 1 How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;
4Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.
5As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.
6I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 14
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.
2Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.
5There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.
7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
Psalm 15
A Psalm of David. 1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?
2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.
3[He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;
4In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;
5[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.
Psalm 16
Michtam of David. 1 Preserve me, O ùGod: for I trust in thee.
2Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; --
3To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
5Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
8I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
10For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.
11Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
