Psalm 14

A Portrait of Sinners

For the choir director. Davidic.

1 The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist."(a)
They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.
There is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race(b)
to see if there is one who is wise,
one who seeks God.
3 All have turned away;
all alike have become corrupt.
There is no one who does good,
not even one.[a](c)

4 Will evildoers never understand?
They consume My people as they consume bread;(d)
they do not call on the Lord.(e)

5 Then[b] they will be filled with terror,
for God is with those who are[c] righteous.(f)
6 You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted,(g)
but the Lord is his refuge.(h)

7 Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people,[d]
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.[e](i)
