⁹ The heart^(A) is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?

“There is no one righteous, not even one;
¹¹     there is no one who understands;
    there is no one who seeks God.
¹² All have turned away,
    they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
    not even one.”^[a](C)
13 “Their throats are open graves;
    their tongues practice deceit.”^[b](D)
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”^[c](E)
14     “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”^[d](F)
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
¹⁶     ruin and misery mark their ways,
¹⁷ and the way of peace they do not know.”^[e](G)
18     “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”^[f](H)

³ You will keep in perfect peace^(A)
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust^(B) in you.

⁵ Why, my soul, are you downcast?^(A)
    Why so disturbed^(B) within me?
Put your hope in God,^(C)
    for I will yet praise^(D) him,
    my Savior^(E) and my God.^(F)

⁶ My soul is downcast within me;
    therefore I will remember^(G) you
from the land of the Jordan,^(H)
    the heights of Hermon^(I)—from Mount Mizar.
