if

O LORD my God, if I haue done this; if there be iniquitie in my hands:

If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that was at peace with me: (yea I haue deliuered him that without cause is mine enemie.)

If he turne not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bowe, and made it ready.

If the foundations bee destroyed: what can the righteous doe?

The LORD looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men; to see if there were any that did vnderstand and seeke God.

1611 marginal noteRom.3.10.

¶ Vnto thee will I cry, O LORD, my rocke, be not silent to mee: lest if thou be silent to me, I become like them that goe downe into the pit.

Many, O LORD my God; are thy wonderfull workes which thou hast done, and thy thoughts, which are to vs ward: they cannot be reckoned vp in order vnto thee: if I would declare and speake of them, they are moe then can be numbred.

1611 marginal noteOr, none can order them vnto thee.

And if hee come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquitie to it selfe, when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

If wee haue forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange God:

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, for the world is mine, and the fulnesse thereof.
