The Mouth of Fools Doth God Confess (EN 534)

EN 534 The Mouth of Fools Doth God Confess

Ps.14.3

Versi Version 1

1

The mouth of fools doth God confess,

But while their lips draw nigh Him,

Their heart is full of wickedness,

And all their deeds deny Him.

Corrupt are they, and every one

Abominable works hath done;

There is not one well-doer.

2

The Lord looked from His heavenly throne

On all mankind below Him

To see if there were any one

Who truly sought to know Him,

And all his understanding bent

To search His holy Word, intent

To do His will in earnest.

3

But none there was who walked with God,

For all aside had slidden,

Delusive paths of folly trod,

And followed lusts forbidden;

Not one there was who practiced good,

Though many deemed, in haughty mood,

Their deeds to God were pleasing.

4

“How long, by folly blindly led,

Will they oppress the needy

And My own flock devour like bread?”

So fierce are they and greedy!

In God they put no trust at all,

Nor on His Name in trouble call,

But be their own providers.

5

Therefore their heart is never still,

A constant fear dismays them,

God is with him who doth His will,

Who trusts Him and obeys Him;

Ye shame the counsel of the poor

And mock him when he doth assure

That God is e’er his Refuge.

6

Who shall to Israel’s outcast race

From Zion bring salvation?

God will Himself at length show grace

And loose the captive nation;

That will He do by Christ, their King;

Let Jacob then be glad and sing

And Israel be joyful.
