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.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 First Line: Are sinners now so senseless grown Lyrics: Are sinners now so senseless grown That they the saints devour? 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.

Psalm 14: That there is not a God, the fool

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.

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.

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.

A Worldling, wretched, vile and base

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 A Worldling, wretched, vile and base, Not subject to restraining grace; But yielded to his lusts and pride, And set all fear of God aside. 2 Though he had riches laid in store, Yet no compassion on the poor! A beggar in a helpless state, Found no assistance at his gate. 3 The worldling spent his precious days, In Luxuries, in sports and plays-- While the poor beggar lay distress'd, With poverty and sores oppress'd. 4 But to them both it proved strange, To meet with such a sudden change; The worldling sent to endless pain, The beggar plac'd with Christ to reign. 5 This is the sinners awful case: They who neglect the time of grace; They cry for help, but O too late! When once they share their lot and fate. 6 The worldlilng pray'd to get relief, To metigate his pain and grief; But father Abr'am could not grant that cooling drop which he did want. 7 If we seek heaven here on earth, We loose the heav'n of greater worth; To bear the Cross with Jesus here, Intitles us to glory there. 8 Dear Saviour, make us truly wise, All sinful pleasures to despise-- The greatest evil we can do: That is to choose our heav'n below.

II. The Lord, from his coelestial Throne, Look'd down on evr'y Creature, To find one Man who had begun To love God's holy Nature; But ll the Race was gone astray, All had forsook the saving Way Of CHRIST'S bright Revelation. III. How long will they be ignorant Of their Abomination, Who thus despise my Covenant, Nor spare my Holy Nation? They never call upon the Lord, But trust unto their golden Hoard, And turn their own Defenders. IV. Yet are their Hearts in constant Pain, And secret Fear and Trembling. God with his SION will remain, Where Saints are still assembling: But you deride the Poors' Advice, Their greatest Comfort you despise, That God's their only Refuge. V.

The impious atheist, in his folly proud

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 The impious atheist, in his folly proud, At one all-powerful being laughs aloud. Corrupt they're all; from virtue's path they turn, And in the quenchless fires of lust they burn; Their shocking crimes, their curst impieties, Demand tremendous vengeance from the skies. 2 Th' All-high looks down from his etherial throne, To see, if man his sov'reign pow'r will own; If yet the sons of earth accept his sway, His name revere, and his dread will obey. 3 Ah no! not one--they 'gainst their God conspire, Pursue the dictates of each wild desire, In filthy scenes their precious hours employ, And make their shocking crimes their horrid joy. 4 Does then rank frenzy o'er the wicked reign, That they such hideous blasphemy maintain, That they my people, as their prey, devour, And, obstinate, reject almighty pow'r? 5 But still their wretched hearts shall make with fear, For, where the righteous are, God's always near, The refuge of the just he'll constant prove; The humble soul is sure to have his love; 6 And, while, ye wicked, you her hopes deride, Falls direful vengeance on your impious pride. 7 From Sion's hill, O that the Lord wou'd send His speedy aid, and Jacob's sons defend; Wou'd his own people from their bondage free, And give them back their long'd-for liberty; Then shou'd the race of Israel shout for joy, And their glad tongues in grateful hymns employ.

And God's Almighty Pow'r disown? 5 How will they tremble then for Fear, When his just Wrath shall them o'ertake! Are they so dull and senseless grown, That they will GOD's great Pow'r disown? Will they not his Commands obey, And yield to his Almighty Sway? 6 How will they tremble then for Fear, When they behold his Vengeance near! When his just Wrath shall them o'ertake; For GOD will ne'er the Just forsake: For them he will his Arm extend, And from the Foe their Lives defend. 7 Bad Men, in vain, with Scorn deride The Just, who follow Virtue's Guide, And strive their Methods to expose; Since GOD a Refuge is for those: His Eyes shall them with Favour view, Whilst they their righteous Paths pursue. 7 Would he his saving Pow'r extend, And now his People's Cause defend; Oh! would he break their servile Band; What Shouts should echo thro' the Land!

But lo! they all were gone aside, They filthy were, and base; Not one, the Paths of Virtue trod, Of all that sinful Race. 4. Do wicked Fools so blind their Eyes, And far from Reason stray. That they my People eat as Bread, And God no Homage pay? 5. Then conscious Guilt shall them surprise, With most amazing Fear; When God, to plead the just Man's Cause, In Vengeance shall appear. 6. The pious Counsel of the Poor, Reproaching ye despise; Because the Lord his Refuge is, Where he for Shelter flies. 7. Would God, from Zion Safety send, And back his Captives bring; Jacob should, with loud Peals, rejoice. Thy Praise glad Isr'el sing.
