The LORD looked down from heaven

Upon the children of men,

To see if there were any that did understand,

And seek God.

They are all gone aside, they are altogether become filthy. There is none that doeth | good, no, |

not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?

5 Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not up- on the | LORD.

There were they in great fear;

For God is in the gene- ra-tion | of the righteous.

Ye have shunned the counsel of the poor;
Because the LORD..is his | refuge.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people.
Jacob shall re-joice, and | Israel..shall be | glad.

Whom have I in heaven but thee?

And there is none upon earth that I de- sire be- side thee. My flesh and my heart faileth;

2 But God is the strength of my heart, and my | portion for- ever.

3 For lo, they that are far from thee shall perish. But it is good for me to draw near to God;

4 I have put my trust in the LORD God, That I may de- clare all | thy - | works.
