There are many who say, “Who will show us any good?” Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.

Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.

O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

They reward me evil for good, To the sorrow of my soul.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

He devises wickedness on his bed; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore.

Those also who render evil for good, They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.
