Psalm 14

Psalm 14

¹ The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
there is none who does good.
² The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.
³ They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
⁴ Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers
who eat up my people as they eat bread
and do not call upon the LORD?
⁵ There they are in great terror,
for God is with the generation of the righteous.
⁶ You would shame the plans of the poor,
but the LORD is his refuge.
⁷ Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
