" The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God. "
— Psalms 13:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?”
“How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? ”
“How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?”
“How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight? How long will my enemy gloat over me?”
“The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.”
“How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?”
“How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?”
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.
The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
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.
Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
