Here’s a simple two-reader setting of Psalm 14. It is set for two voices.
Psalm
14 Litany
Only
fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
The Lord looks
down from heaven
on the entire human race;
on the entire human race;
he looks to see if
anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
if anyone seeks God.
But
no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt.
all have become corrupt.
No
one does good,
not a single one!
not a single one!
Will those who do
evil never learn?
They eat up my people like bread
and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.
They eat up my people like bread
and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.
Terror
will grip them,
for God is with those who obey him.
for God is with those who obey him.
The wicked frustrate
the plans of the oppressed,
but the Lord will protect his people.
but the Lord will protect his people.
Who
will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?
When
the Lord restores his people,
Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
