Psalm 14 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 14

A Psalm of David.

¹ That there is not a God, the fool doth in his heart conclude: They are corrupt, their works are vile; not one of them doth good.

² Upon men's sons the Lord from heav'n did cast his eyes abroad, To see if any understood, and did seek after God.

³ They altogether filthy are, they all aside are gone; And there is none that doeth good, yea, sure there is not one.

⁴ These workers of iniquity do they not know at all, That they my people eat as bread, and on God do not call?

⁵ There fear'd they much; for God is with the whole race of the just.

⁶ You shame the counsel of the poor, because God is his trust.

⁷ Let Isr'el's help from Sion come: when back the Lord shall bring His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall sing.
