The Fourteenth Psalm

Dixit insipiens.

---

THE fool hath said in his heart, * There is no God.
 
They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; * there is none that doeth good, no not one.
 
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there were any that would understand, and seek after God.
 
But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable; * there is none that doeth good, no not one.
 
Have they no knowledge, that they are all such workers of mischief, * eating up my people as it were bread, and call not upon the LORD?
 
There were they brought in great fear, even where no fear was; * for God is in the generation of the righteous.
 
As for you, ye have made a mock at the counsel of the poor; * because he putteth his trust in the LORD.
 
Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Sion? * When the LORD turneth the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
