Psalm 12   * 1  2  3  4  5  6  *  Psalm 14


   The grace and mercy of God.
   1 How long, O Lord, wilt thou withdraw thyself from me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me, that I may not see thee? Wilt thou forget me, and cast me off from thy presence for ever?
   
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
   
3 Consider me, O Lord; and hear my cry, O my God; and lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the death of the ungodly; lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him.
   
4 Those that trouble me, rejoice when I am moved;
   
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
   
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
