Psalm 14

Psalm 14

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

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

They are corrupt,

They have done abominable works,

There is none who does good.

^2bThe Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,

To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

^3cThey have all turned aside,

They have together become corrupt;

There is none who does good,

No, not one.

⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

And ^ddo not call on the Lord?

⁵There they are in great fear,

For God is with the generation of the righteous.

⁶You shame the counsel of the poor,

But the Lord is his ^erefuge.

^7fOh, ¹that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!

^gWhen the Lord brings back ²the captivity of His people,

Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
