Psalm 14

1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.

Folly of the Godless, and Gods Final TriumphTo the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.3 They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the Lord?5 There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous.6 You shame the counsel of the poor, But the Lord is his refuge.7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

PSALMS 14

No One Can Ignore the //[Lord]

1  t Only a fool would say,
“There is no God!”
People like that are worthless;
they are heartless and cruel
and never do right.

2 From heaven the [Lord]
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.

3 But all of them are corrupt;
no one does right.

4 Won't you evil people learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the [Lord]'s people.

5 But you will be frightened,
because God is on the side
of every good person.

6 You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
but the [Lord] protects them.

7 I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our [Lord], when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.
