The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#28b

28b. Dixit imsipiens

1 The foolish man is that which he
within his heart hath said:
That there is any God at all,
hath utterly denaid.
2 They are corrupt, and they also
a hainous work have wrought:
Among them all there is not one
of good that worketh ought.

3 The Lord look'd down on sons of men
from heaven all broad:
To see if any were that would
be wise and seek for God.
4 They are all gone out of the way,
they are corrupted all:
There is not one doth any good,
there is not one at all.

5 Do not all wicked workers know,
that they do feed upon
My people, as they feed on bread?
the Lord they call not on.
6 Even there they were afraid and stood
with trembling all dismaid.
Whereas there was no cause at all,
why they should he afraide.

7 For God his bones that thee besieg'd
hath scattered all abroad:
Thou hast confounded them for they
rejected are of God.
8 O Lord, give to thy people health,
and thou, O Lord, fulfill
Thy promise made to Israel
from out of Sion hill?

9 When God his People shall restore,
that erst were captive led:
Then Jacob shall therein rejoyce,
and Israel shall be glad.
