Psalms 14

Psalm 14

There Is No One Who Does Good

For the choir director. Of David.

1 The ^{▼▼One who rejects wisdom in rebellion against God}wicked fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They act corruptly, they commit abominable ^{▼▼Lit doings}deeds;
There is no one who does good.
2 Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who ^{▼▼Or acts wisely}has insight,
Anyone who seeks after God.
3 They have all turned aside, altogether they have become ^{▼▼Or corrupt}worthless;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Do all the workers of iniquity not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon Yahweh?
5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with the righteous generation.
6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But Yahweh is his refuge.
7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel ^{▼▼Lit would be}would come out of Zion!
When Yahweh ^{▼▼Or restores the fortunes of His people}restores His captive people,
May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
