PSALM X4'
To his Bandmaster.
Qi; Qnliii!.
There is no GOD, the fool says in his heart,
Foul, corruptly, they roll—never practising good.
The LORD from Heaven looked on the children of Adam
To see if any wisely would follow their GOD.
But the wholewere corrupt, none were practising good,
For none would learn that,—all were working for Sin,
Ate My people like bread, and called not on the LORD,
Whom they should fear in dread, for GOD dwells with the good,
They scorn the p0or’s thoughts whom the LORD Himself loves.

PSALM x 5
@1; @¤»i1ilr.
Loan, who in Your Halls shall dwell?
Who live on Your Holy Hill ?
He walking straight, and doing right,
And who speaks truth from his heart,
From whose tongue no slander comes,
Who does not his neighbour wrong,
Who carries no hate in his breast,
Whose eye will despise what is base,
And. respects those who reverence the LORD;
Who swears to his loss, nor complains,
Who len_ds not his money to cheat;
Who takes not a bribe against right;
Who does thus, is unshaken for ever.
PSALM 16.
Written ln; Qnhih.
GOD, guard me,—-—t`or I trust on You
I tell the LIFE, You are my Prince;
I have no pleasure but in You.
