Psalms 14

 

Psalms 14

 

¹ The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

 

² The LORD looks down from heaven

on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

 

³ All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good,

not even one.

 

⁴ Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread;

they never call on the LORD.

 

⁵ But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,

for God is present in the company of the righteous.

 

⁶ You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,

but the LORD is their refuge.

 

⁷ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
