1.THe foole hathe ſaid in his heart, There is  no God. they haue corrupted and done abominable wickednes: there is none that doeth good.
2.God loked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to ſe if there were anie that wolde vnderſtand, and ſeke God.
3.Euerie one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
4.Do not the workers of iniquitie knowe yt they eat vp my people as they eat bread? they call not vpon God.
5.There they were afraied for feare, where no feare was: for God hathe ſcatered the bones of him that beſieged thee: thou haſt put them to confuſion, becauſe God hathe caſt them of.
6.Oh giue ſaluacion vnto Iſraél out of Zión: when God turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakób ſhal reioyce, & Iſraél ſhal be glad.
