1 The fool hath said in his heart, There | is no | God. ||

2 They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; * there is | none that • doeth | good, • no not | one. ||

3 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the | 3 children of | men ||

to see if there were any that would under- | stand, and | seek • after | God. ||

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are alto- | gether be•come a- | bomin•able ||

there is | none that • doeth | good, • no not | one. ||

5 Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their | tongues have • they de- | ceived ||

the poison of | asps is | 3 under their | lips. ||

6 Their mouth is full of | cursing • and | bitter•ness ||

their | feet are | swift to • shed | blood. ||

7 Destruction and unhappiness is in their ways, and the way of | peace have • they not | known ||

there is no fear of | God be- | fore their | eyes. ||

8 Have they no knowledge, that they are all such | 3 workers of | mischief ||

eating up my people as it were bread, and | call • not up- | on the | Lord? ||

9 There were they brought in great fear, even where | no fear | was ||

for God is in the gener- | ation | of the | righteous. ||

10 As for you, ye have made a mock at the | counsel • of the | poor ||

because he | 3 putteth his | trust • in the | Lord. ||

11 Who shall give salvation unto | Israel • out of | Sion? ||

When the Lord turneth the captivity of his people, * then shall Jacob re- | joice, and | Israel • shall be | glad. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
