## Psalm 13 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
2. The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
3. They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
4. Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
5. They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
6. For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.
7. Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.

## Psalm 13 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. In finem. Psalmus David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in studiis suis; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
2. Dominus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.
3. Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt. Non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant. Venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum, quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est; veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt; non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.
4. Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
5. Dominum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.
6. Quoniam Dominus in generatione justa est: consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes ejus est.
7. Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? Cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.
