Fools in their Hearts believe and say
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P14a (1766) Topics: Atheism practical Lyrics: 1 Fools in their Hearts believe and say,
"That all Religion's vain;
There is no GOD that reigns on high,
Or minds th' Affairs of Men."
2 From Thoughts so dreadful and prophane
Corrupt Discourse proceeds;
And in their impious Hands are found
Abominable Deeds.
3 The Lord from his Celestial Throne
Look'd down on Things below,
To find the Man that sought his Grace,
Or did his Justice know.
4 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.
5 Their Tongues are us'd to speak Deceit,
Their Slanders never cease;
How swift to Mischief are their Feet;
Nor know the Paths of Peace.
6 Such Seeds of Sin (that bitter Root)
In ev'ry Heart are found;
Nor can they bear diviner Fruit,
Till Grace refine the Ground.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P14b (1766) Topics: Atheism practical Lyrics: 1 Are Sinners now so senseless grown
That they the Saints devour?
And never worship at thy Throne,
Nor fear thine awful Power?
2 Great GOD. appear to their Surprize,
Reveal thy dreadful Name;
Let them no more thy Wrath despise,
Nor turn our Hope to Shame.
3 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.
4 O that the joyful Day were come
To finish our Distress!
When GOD shall bring his Children home,
Our Songs shall never cease.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #20 (1740) Topics: Atheism practical First Line: Lord, if thou dost not soon appear Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thou dost not soon appear,
Virtue and truth will fly away;
A faithful Man amongst us here
Will scarce be found, if thou delay.
2 The whole Discourse, when Neighbors meet,
Is fill'd with Trifles loose and vain;
Their Lips are Flatt'ry and Deceit,
And their proud Language is profane.
3 But Lips that with Deceit abound
Shall not maintain their Triumph long;
The God of Vengeance will confound
The flatt'ring and blaspheming tongue.
4 "Yet shall our Words be free" they cry;
"Our tongues shall be controul'd by none:
"Where is the Lord will ask us why?
"Or, say, our Lips are not our own?"
5 The Lord, who sees the Poor oppresst,
And hears th' Oppressor's haughty Strain,
Will rise to give his Children Rest,
Nor shall they trust his Word in vain.
6 Thy Word, O Lord, tho' often try'd,
Void of Deceit shall still appear;
Not Silver seven Times purify'd
From Dross and Mixture, shines so clear.
7 Thy Grace shall in the darkest Hour
Defend the holy Soul from Harm;
Tho' when the vilest Men have Power,
On ev'ry Side will Sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

Religion loses Ground;
The Sons of Violence prevail,
And Treacheries abound.
2 Their Oaths and Promises they break,
Yet act the Flatterer's Part;
With fair, deceitful Lips they speak,
And with a double Heart.
3 If we reprove some hateful Lye,
How is their fury stirr'd?
"Are not our Lips our own," they cry,
"And who shall be our Lord?"
4 Scoffers appear on every Side,
Where a vile Race of Men
Is rais'd to Seats of Pow'r and Pride,
And bears the Sword in vain.

And Blasphemy grows bold,
When Faith is hardly to be found,

Hast thou not giv'n this Sign;
May we not trust and live upon
A Promise so divine?
7 "Yes, saith the Lord, now will I rise,
"And make Oppressors flee;
"I shall appear to their Surprize,
"And set my Servants free.
8 Thy Word, like Silver seven Times try'd,
Thro' Ages shall endure;
Then Men that in thy Truth confide
Shall find the Promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English
