Psalm 14:1–15:5

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good. 2 Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

4  Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah. 5  There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6  Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah was his refuge. 7  Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

Psalm 15

A Psalm of David.

1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart. 3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour; 4 In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not; 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
