Psalms 14

For the Chief Musician. By David.


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

They are corrupt.

They have done abominable works.

There is none who does good.


2
The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men,

to see if there were any who understood,

who sought after God.


3
They have all gone 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 don’t call on the LORD?


5
There they were in great fear,

for God is in the generation of the righteous.


6
You frustrate the plan of the poor,

because the LORD is his refuge.


7
Oh that the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion!

When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,

then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
