XIV.

1

The fooll hath (closlie) in his heart,
For a conclusioun laid,
And (secreettlie within himselff)
No God their is, hath sayd.
Corrupted all: in all ther wayes
They work (with maine and might)
Abhominable works; not one
Doth what is good or right.

2

The Lord from heaven, vpon the son̄s
Of men did sett his eye,
Iff any vndirstanding wer,
And seeking God to sie.

3

All from the way aside ar gone;
Togither great and small,
Polluted are: none, no not one,
Doth any good at all.

4

Doe all lack knowledge, wickednes
Who work? devour'd by them
As bread my people are: on God
To call they doe contemne.

5

Thair wer they suddenlie surpris'd
With feare, which on them fell,
For in the generatioun
Of just men God doth duell.

6

Becaus on God the poore depends,
His counsell ȝee disdaine.

7

O that from Sion Israell
Salvation might attaine.
What tyme Jehovah back sall bring,
From bands and bondage sade,
His people, Jacob sall rejoyce,
And Israell be glade.
