Psalm 14

He deſcribeth the peruerſe nature of men; which were ſo growen to licẽciouſnes, that God was broght to vtter contempt 7 For the which thing althogh he was greatly grieued, yet being perſuaded that God wolde ſend ſome preſent remedie, he comforteth him ſelf & others.
1.THe foole hathe ſaid in his heart, The- re is no God: thei haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth good.
2.The Lord loked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to ſe if there were anie that wolde vnderſtand, and ſeke God.
3.All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
4.Do not all ye workers of iniquitie knowe that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.
5.There they ſhal be taken with feare, becauſe God is in the generacion of the iuſt.
6.You haue made a mocke at the counſel of the poore, becauſe the Lord is his truſt.
7.Oh giue ſaluacion vnto Iſraél out of Zión: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakób ſhal reioyce, and Iſraél ſhal be glad.
