Psalm 14 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 First Line: Fools in their heart believe and say Lyrics: Fools in their heart believe and say "That all religion's vain; There is no God that reigns on high, Or minds th' affairs of men." From thoughts so dreadful and profane, Corrupt discourse proceeds; And in their impious hands are found Abominable deeds. The Lord from his celestial throne Looked down on things below, To find the man that sought his grace, Or did his justice know. By nature all are gone astray, Their practice all the same; There's none that fears his Maker's hand; There's none that loves his name. Their tongues are used to speak deceit, Their slanders never cease; How swift to mischief are their feet, Nor know the paths of peace! Such seeds of sin (that bitter root) In every heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner fruit, Till grace refine the ground.

And never worship at thy throne, Nor fear thine awful power? Great God! appear to their surprise; Reveal thy dreadful name; Let them no more thy wrath despise, Nor turn our hope to shame. Dost thou not dwell among the just? And yet our foes deride, That we should make thy name our trust; Great God! confound their pride. O that the joyful day were come To finish our distress! When God shall bring his children home Our songs shall never cease. Topics: Atheism practical; Persecutors their folly; Practical atheism; Sin of nature; Sin universal; Wickedness of man

Sure, wicked fools must needs suppose

Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Sure, wicked Fools must needs suppose, That God is nothing but a Name: Corrupt and lewd their Practice grows, No Breast is warm'd with holy Flame. 2 The Lord look'd down from Heav'n's high Tow'r And all the sons of Men did view, To see if any own'd his Pow'r'; If any Truth or Justice knew. 3 But all, he saw, were gone aside, All were degen'rate grown, and base: None took Religion for their Guide, Not one of all the sinful Race. But can these workers of Deceit Be all so dull and senseless grown, That they, like Bread, my People eat, And God's Almighty Pow'r disown? 5 How will they tremble then for Fear, When his just Wrath shall them o'ertake! For, to the righteous, God is near, And never will their Cause forsake. 6 Ill Men, in vain, with Scorn expose the Methods which the Good pursue; Since God a Refuge is for those Whom his just eyes with Favour view. 7 Would he his saving Pow'r employ, To break his People's servile Band; Then Shouts of universal Joy Shall loudly eccho through the Land.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 First Line: That there is not a God, the fool Lyrics: 1That there is not a God, the fool doth in his heart conclude: They are corrupt, their works are vile; not one of them doth good. 2Upon men’s sons the Lord from heav’n did cast his eyes abroad, To see if any understood, and did seek after God. 3They altogether filthy are, they all aside are gone; And there is none that doeth good, yea, sure there is not one. 4These workers of iniquity do they not know at all, That they my people eat as bread, and on God do not call? 5There fear’d they much; for God is with the whole race of the just. 6You shame the counsel of the poor, because God is his trust. 7Let Isr’el’s help from Sion come: when back the Lord shall bring His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall sing.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 First Line: Fools, in their hearts, say there's no GOD Lyrics: 1 Fools in their hearts say, there's no GOD, and so corrupt they grow, Abominable sins commit, and nothing good they do. 2 From heav'n JEHOVAH looked down on sons of men, to see If any who do understand, or seek to GOD there be. 3 They altogether filthy are; they all are backward* gone; There are not any that do good, no verily, not one. 4 The workers of iniquity, do they not know at all? That they my people eat as bread, nor on the LORD will call. 5 Yet they shall with a grievous fear appalled greatly be, When GOD among the righteous race they once shall come to see. 6 The counsel of the poor oppress'd, ye mock'd and try'd to shame; Because the LORD their refuge is, and they hope in his name. 7 Who will from Zion Isr'el save? when back the LORD shall bring His captives; Jacob will rejoyce, and Isr'el gladly sing.

Dixit insipiens

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 First Line: There is no God as foolish men Lyrics: 1 There is no God as foolish men affirme in their mad mood: Their drifts are all corrupt and vaine, not one of them doth good. 2 The Lord beheld from heaven high the whole race of mankind, And saw not one that sought indeed the living God to find. 3 They went all wide and were corrupt, and truly there was none That in the world did any good, I say, there was not one. 4 Is all their judgement so farre lost, that all work mischief still? Eating my people even as bread, not one to seek God's will? 5 When they thus rage, then suddenly great feare on them shall fall: For God doth love the righteous men, and will maintaine them all. 6 Ye mock the doings of the poore, to their reproach and shame: Because they put their trust in God, and call upon his name. 7 But who shall give thy people health, and when wilt thou fulfill Thy promise made to Israel, from out of Sion hill? 8 Even when thou shalt restore againe such as were captive led: Then Jacob shall therein rejoyce, and Israel shall be glad.

Nor hath the King of grace decreed This prize for me alone; But all that love and long to see Th' appearance of his Son.

Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl

Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl, den rechten Gott wir meinen, doch ist ihr Herz Unglaubens voll, mit That sie Ihn verneinen. Ihr Wesen ist verderbet zwar, für Gott ist es ein Gräuel gar, es thut ihr'r keiner kein Gut. 2 Gott selbst vom Himmel sah herab auf aller Menschen Kinden, zu schaen sie Er sich begab, ob Er jemand würd' finden, der sein'n Verstand gerichtet hätt', mit Ernst nach Gottes Worten thät, und fragt nach seinem Willen. 3 Da war niemand auf rechter Bahn, sie war'n all' ausgeschritten, ein jeder ging nach seinem Wahn und hielt verlorne Sitten. Es thät ihr'r keiner doch kein Gut, wiewohl gar viel betrog der Muth, ihr Thun sollt' Gott gefallen. 4 Wie lang' wollen unwissen sein, die solche Müh' aufladen, und fressen dafür das Volk mein, und nähr'n sich mit sein'm Schaden? Es steht ihr Trauen nicht auf Gott, sie rufen Ihm nicht in der Noth, sie woll'n sich selbs versorgen. 5 Darum ist ihr Herz nimmer still, und steht all'zeit in Furchten, Gott bei den Frommen bleiben will, dem sie mit Glauben g'horchen. Ihr aber schmäht des Armen Rath, und höhnet alles, was er sagt, daß Gott sein Trost ist worden. 6 Wer soll Israel dem Armen zu Zion Heil erlangen? Gott wird sich sein's Volks erbarmen, und lösen die Gefangenen. Das wird Er thun durch seinen Sohn, davon wird Jacob Wonne han, und Israel sich freuen. 7 Ehr' sei Gott Vater allezeit, auch Christo eingeboren, und dem Tröster, heiligem Geist, gar hoch in's Himmels Throne, wie es im Anfang und auch jetzt gewesen ist und bleibet stets, bis an der Welt End', Amen.
