Psalm XIV.

1

There is no God, the foolish Man
Doth in his Heart suppose:
No wonder then, if in his life
All filthy lewdness flows.

2

The Lord look'd down from Heaven to see
If any understood:
But all were foul and filthy grown,
And none whose life was good.

3

These workers of iniquity
Have they no sense at all,
That eat God's People up as Bread,
And never on him call?

4

But though the poor, that trust in God,
These wicked Men deride:
His Terrors shall convince at last,
That God is on their side.

5

O when will he from Sion help,
And back his Captives bring;
That Jacob may rejoyce in him,
And Israel may sing.
