Psalms 14
Psalm 14(a)
For the director of music. Of David.
1 The fool[a] says in his heart,
"There is no God."(b)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven(c)
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(d)
any who seek God.(e)
3 All have turned away,(f) all have become corrupt;(g)
there is no one who does good,(h)
not even one.(i)
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?(j)
They devour my people(k) as though eating bread;
they never call on the Lord.(l)
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.(m)
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(n)
When the Lord restores(o) his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
