Psalm 14 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter



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.

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.
   

Psalm 14 - KJV

 

 Psalm 14
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.


1 That 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.

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

 Psalm 14 - Scottish Metrical Psalter
