Psal. 53. Dixit Insipiens.
Ad Præstantem, super Mahalath. Psalmus Davidis.
1
There is no God, in heart to say,so farre the foole is gone:
Corrupt and odious is their way,
good-doer there is none.
2
Downe from the Heavens God look't to see,what Adams sons desir'd:
Of understanding who was he,
that after God enquir'd.
3
Out of the way they are all gone,gone altogether backe:
Good deed, good-doer none, not one,
of all their loathsome packe.
4
Is all their understanding fled,to wicked workes that fall?
That eate my people up like bread,
on God they never call.
5
There did they feare, where was no feare,to fright those guilty ones:
For God hath scattered here and there
the proud besiegers bones.
6
Them to confusion hast thou sent,thine enemies surpriz'd
With shame (of sin the best event)
for God hath them despis'd.
7
Salvations who to Israelshall out of Sion give?
When they that now in bondage dwell,
no longer captives live.
His people home when God hath had,
of whom he made his choice:
100
and Israel rejoyce.
