Chapter 13

The general corruption of men, before our redemption by Christ.

1. 1

   Unto the end, a psalm for David.

2. 2

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

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 7

   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.
