Psalm 14

THere is no God, the fool hath said
in heart corrupt they are,
Their works most vile, and to do good
not one takes any care.
The Lord beheld from Heaven high
the whole race of mankind,
To see if any one were wise,
or sought his God to find.

They all are gone aside, and are
most filthy, there is none
Amongst them all doth any good,
there is not any one:
These workers of iniquity,
are they so blinded all?
Eating my people up as bread,
not one on God doth call.

Yet there, for all their confidence,
great terror on them fell,
For in the generation
of just men God doth dwell.
The hopes and counsels of the poor
you shame and set at nought,
Because he staid himself on God,
and help from him hath sought.

But who shall give salvation Lord?
O that thou wouldst fulfil
Thy promise made to Israel
from out of Zion hill.
When God his people brings again,
and sets his captives free,
Then Jacob greatly shall rejoyce,
and Israel glad shall be.
