PSALM XIV IN METER.

By J. K.

1. The foolish man hath said within his heart, There is no God, who justice doth impart. They are corrupt; their ways are wickedness; Not one is there that doeth righteousness.
2. The Lord looked from his dwelling-place above, And viewed the creatures of his care and love, To see if there were any in the land, Who did Jehovah seek and understand.
3. But all are filthy, all are gone aside, Not one is there whose works in right abide.
4. Have all the workers of iniquity No knowledge, that they do thus wickedly? Who eat my people, as they bread would eat, And call not on the Lord, a sure retreat.
5. There were they in great fear and sad affright, For God is with the man who doeth right.
6. The counsel of the poor ye did despise, Because his refuge in Jehovah lies.
7. Oh, that salvation's might and power untold, Were come from Zion, Israel to uphold! When God his captive people back shall bring, Then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel sing.
J. K.
