The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

I have cried, for thou heardest me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken to my words.

The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; he is my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.

And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, even into his ears.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.

For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For thou, O Lord, wilt light my lamp: my God, thou wilt lighten my darkness.

For by thee shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.

As for my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.

For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?

It is God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:

The Lord lives; and blessed be my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;

God magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
