PSAL. LIII. To the chief musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. (Book 53)

THat there is not a God, the fool
doth in his heart conclude:
They are corrupt, their works are vile,
not one of them doth good.
The Lord upon the sons of menLine 2 
from heav'n did cast his eyes,
To see if any one there was
that sought God, and was wise.

They altogether filthy are,Line 3 
they all are backward gone;
And there is none that doeth good,
no not so much as one.
These workers of iniquityLine 4 
do they not know at all,
That they my people eat as bread
and on God do not call.

Ev'n there they were afraid, and stoodLine 5 
with trembling all dismaid,
Whereas there was no cause at all,
why they should be afraid.

Page 105

For God his bones that thee besieg'd
hath scattered all abroad,
Thou hast confounded them, for they
despised are of God.

Let Israels help from Sion come▪Line 6 
When back the Lord shall bring
His captives, Jacob shall rejoyce,
and Israel shall sing▪
