Psalm 14

A Portrait of Sinners

For the choir director. Davidic.

1The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.” t

They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.

There is no one who does good.

2The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race u

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

3All have turned away;

all alike have become corrupt.

There is no one who does good,

not even one. vw

4Will evildoers never understand?

They consume My people as they consume bread; x

they do not call on the Lord. y

5Then zthey will be filled with terror,

for God is with those who are arighteous. b

6You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted, c

but the Lord is his refuge. d

7Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come from Zion!

When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people, e

Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad. fg
