Psalm 14
The Folly and
Wickedness of Men |
Ps. 53.1-6 |
To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David. |
|
1 |
The fool hath said in his heart,
|
There is no God. |
They are corrupt, |
they have done abominable works, |
there is none that doeth good.
|
|
|
2 |
The LORD looked down
from heaven upon the children of men,
|
to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
|
|
|
3 |
They are all gone aside,
|
they are all together become filthy: |
there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Rom.
3.10-12
|
|
|
4 |
Have all the workers of iniquity no
knowledge?
|
who eat up my people as they eat bread, |
and call not upon the LORD.
|
|
|
5 |
There were they in great fear:
|
for God is in the generation of the
righteous. |
|
|
6 |
Ye have shamed the counsel of the
poor,
|
because the LORD is his
refuge.
|
|
|
7 |
Oh that the salvation of Israel were
come out of Zion!
|
When the LORD bringeth back the
captivity of his people, |
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be
glad. |
