Psalm 14

A Portrait of Sinners

For the choir director. Davidic.

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

They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.

There is no one who does good.

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

to see if there is one who is wise,

one who seeks God.

All have turned away;

all alike have become corrupt.

There is no one who does good,

not even one. v w

Will evildoers never understand?

They consume My people as they consume bread; x

they do not call on the Lord. y

Then z they will be filled with terror,

for God is with those who are a righteous. b

You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted, c

but the Lord is his refuge. d

Oh, 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. f g
