I The mouth of fools doth God confess, But while their lips draw nigh him Their heart is füll of wickedness, And all their deeds deny him.
Corrupt are they, and every one Abominable deeds hath done ; There is not one well-doer.

On all mankind below him, To see if any owned his power, And truly sought to know him ; Who all their understanding bent
To searcli his holy Word, intent To do his will in earnest.
3 But none there was who walked with God, For all aside had slidden, Delusive paths of folly trod, And followed lusts forbidden
Not one there was who practiced good, And yet they deemed, in haughty mood, Their deeds must surely please him.
4 How long, by folly blindly led, Will ye oppress the needy, And eat my people up like bread ?
So fierce are ye, and greedy In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on him in trouble call, But be their own providers.
Therefore their heart is never still, A falling leaf dismays them God is v/ith him who doth his will, Who trusts him and obeys Him j
But ye the poor man 's hope despise.
And laugh at him, e'en when he cries, That God is his sure com fort.
6 Who shall to Israel's outcast race From Zion bring salvation ?
God will himself at length show grace.
And loose the captive nation ; That will he do by Christ their King ; Let Jacob then be glad and sing, And Israel be joyful.
