Psalm 14
A Portrait of Sinners For the choir director. Davidic. 1) The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.” They are corrupt; they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good. 2) The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God. 3) All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one. 4) Will evildoers never understand? They consume My people as they consume bread; they do not call on the Lord. 5) Then they will be filled with terror, for God is with those who are righteous. 6) You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted, but the Lord is his refuge. 7) Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

Psalm 13
A Plea for Deliverance For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. 1) Lord, how long will You forget me? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? 2) How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will my enemy dominate me? 3) Consider me and answer, Lord my God. Restore brightness to my eyes; otherwise, I will sleep in death. 4) My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,” and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken. 5) But I have trusted in Your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. 6) I will sing to the Lord because He has treated me generously.
Psalm 12
Oppression by the Wicked For the choir director: according to Sheminith. A Davidic psalm. 1.) Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains; the loyal have disappeared from the human race. 2.) They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts. 3.) May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks boastfully. 4.) They say, “Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own—who can be our master?” 5.) “Because of the oppression of the afflicted and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the Lord. “I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.” 6.) The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times. 7.) You, Lord, will guard us; You will protect us from this generation forever. 8.) The wicked wander everywhere, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.
Psalm 11
Refuge in the Lord For the choir director. Davidic. 1) I have taken refuge in the Lord. How can you say to me, “Escape to the mountain like a bird! 2) For look, the wicked string the bow; they put the arrow on the bowstring to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3) When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” 4) The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; He examines everyone. 5) The Lord examines the righteous and the wicked. He hates the lover of violence. 6) He will rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked; a scorching wind will be their portion. 7) For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteous deeds. The upright will see His face. |
