Psalm 14

The Fool Says, There Is No God

To the choirmaster. Of David.

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,t
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,
butt 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.

Psalm 14

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

2 Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

3 They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

5 There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
