The Lord looks down from heaven to see if there is anyone who is wise, anyone who looks to him for help.
But everyone has gone the wrong way. Everyone has turned bad. No one does anything good. No, not one person!
Psalms 14:2-3 ERV

But I trust in your faithful love, Lord. I will be happy when you save me.
Then I will sing to the Lord because he was so good to me.
Psalms 13:5-6 ERV
https://bible.com/bible/406/psa.13.5-6.ERV
How long will you forget me, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you refuse to accept me?
How long must I wonder if you have forgotten me? How long must I feel this sadness in my heart? How long will my enemy win against me?
Psalms 13:1-2 ERV

The wicked are all around us, and everyone thinks evil is something to be praised!
