Psalm 13

The fool said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.

The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The poison of asps is under their lips.

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: their feet are swift to shed blood.

Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?

They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.

Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.

In finem. Psalmus David.

Dixit insípiens in corde suo: Non est Deus.

Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, ut vidéret si est intellígens, aut requírens Deum.

Omnes declinavérunt, simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum; linguis suis dolóse agébant.

Venenum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.

Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est.

Velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.

Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum; et viam pacis non cognovérunt.

Non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.

Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

Dóminum non invocavérunt: illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne iusta est.

Consílium ínopis confudístis, quóniam Dóminus spes eius est.

Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israel?

Cum convérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob et lætábitur Israel.
