| 1 | The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none that does good. |
| 2 | God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any that are wise, that seek after God. |
| 3 | They have all fallen away; they are all alike depraved; there is none that does good, no, not one. |
| 4 | Have those who work evil no understanding, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God? |
| 5 | There they are, in great terror, in terror such as has not been! For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly; they will be put to shame, for God has rejected them. |
| 6 | O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel be glad. |
| 1 | Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; |
| 2 | from the end of the earth I call to thee, when my heart is faint. Lead thou me to the rock that is higher than I; |
| 3 | for thou art my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. |
| 4 | Let me dwell in thy tent for ever! Oh to be safe under the shelter of thy wings! [Selah] |
| 5 | For thou, O God, hast heard my vows, thou hast given me the heritage of those who fear thy name. |
| 6 | Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations! |
| 7 | May he be enthroned for ever before God; bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him! |
| 8 | So will I ever sing praises to thy name, as I pay my vows day after day. |
