Psalms

1Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God.

2They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.

3God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.

4All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.

5Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?

6They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

7Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.”

1Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man?God’s loving kindness endures continually.

2Your tongue plots destruction,like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3You love evil more than good,lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

4You love all devouring words,you deceitful tongue.

5God will likewise destroy you forever.He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

6The righteous also will see it, and fear,and laugh at him, saying,

7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength,but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house.I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

9I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it.I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
