Psalm 14

PSALM 14

There Is No One Who Does Good

For the choir director. Of David.

¹The ¹wicked fool ^asays in his heart, “There is no God.”

They act corruptly, they commit abominable ²deeds;

There is ^bno one who does good.

²Yahweh ^alooks down from heaven upon the sons of men

To see if there is anyone who ^1bhas insight,

Anyone who ^cseeks after God.

³They have all ^aturned aside, altogether they have become ¹worthless;

There is ^bno one who does good, not even one.

⁴Do all the workers of iniquity ^anot know,

Who ^beat up my people as they eat bread,

And ^cdo not call upon Yahweh?

⁵There they are in great dread,

For God is with the ^arighteous generation.

⁶You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,

But Yahweh is his ^arefuge.

⁷Oh, that ^athe salvation of Israel ¹would come out of Zion!

When Yahweh ^2brestores His captive people,

May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
