Psalms 14

(A psalm by David for the music leader.)

No One Can Ignore the Lord

1 Only a fool would say,
    "There is no God!"
People like that are worthless;
    they are heartless and cruel
    and never do right.

2 From heaven the Lord
    looks down to see
    if anyone is wise enough
    to search for him.
3 But all of them are corrupt;
    no one does right.

4 Won't you evil people learn?
    You refuse to pray,
    and you gobble down
    the Lord's people.
5 But you will be frightened,
    because God is on the side
    of every good person.
6 You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
    but the Lord protects them.

7 I long for someone from Zion
    to come and save Israel!
Our Lord, when you bless
    your people again,
    Jacob's family will be glad,
    and Israel will celebrate.
