Psalm 53:2

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

The Lord upon the sons of men from heav'n did cast his eyes, To see if any one there was that sought God, and was wise.

See the chapter Copy

Wisdom's beginning is God's fear: good understanding they Have all that his commands fulfill: his praise endures for aye.

When thou didst say, Seek ye my face, then unto thee reply Thus did my heart, Above all things thy face, Lord, seek will I.

He from his sanctuary's height hath downward cast his eye; And from his glorious throne in heav'n the Lord the earth did spy;

God in his holy temple is, in heaven is his throne: His eyes do see, his eye-lids try

The wicked, through his pride of face, on God he doth not call; And in the counsels of his heart the Lord is not at all.
