The Pure & The Just (Psalm 14)

A foolish young man in his head,

Decided that God was quite dead.

His actions grew vile,

With a corrupted style,

And nobody good left instead.

The Lord from the Heavens takes view,

To see what humanity’s do.

He checks if a mind Seeks God and can find A wise

understanding and true.

They all have gone out of the way,

And turned to corruption and stray.

Not one can be found Doing good on the ground,

With none doing right through the day.

Do wicked ones nothing perceive,

As daily they cheat and deceive?

They eat up the poor Like bread at the door,

And never on God they believe.

The proud try to ruin the plan

Of every poor, struggling man.

But God is their shield,

Their fortress and field,

Where safety and peace lead the van.

Oh, let our salvation come down,

And Zion reclaim her renown!

When God makes us whole,

With joy in each soul,

Let Israel smile on the town.
