13.6 :Because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David.


 * The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God';
 * They have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably;
 * There is none that doeth good.
 * The looked forth from heaven upon the children of men,
 * To see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.
 * They are all corrupt, they are together become impure;
 * There is none that doeth good, no, not one.


 * 'Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it,
 * Who eat up My people as they eat bread,
 * And call not upon the ?'
 * There are they in great fear;
 * For God is with the righteous generation.
 * Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor,
 * But the is his refuge.


 * Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
 * When the turneth the captivity of His people,
 * Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

A Psalm of David.


 * , who shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle?
 * Who shall dwell upon Thy holy mountain?
 * He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
 * And speaketh truth in his heart;
 * That hath no slander upon his tongue,
 * Nor doeth evil to his fellow,
 * Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;
 * In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
 * But he honoureth them that fear the ;
 * He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
 * He that putteth not out his money on interest,
 * Nor taketh a bribe against the innocent.
 * He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Michtam of David.


 * Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
 * I have said unto the : 'Thou art my Lord;
 * I have no good but in Thee';
 * As for the holy that are in the earth,
 * They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
 * Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another;
 * Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer,
 * Nor take their names upon my lips.
 * O, 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, who hath given me counsel;
 * Yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
 * I have set the always before me;
