Psalms 14
The Fool Says, There Is No God
To the choirmaster. Of David.
1 (a)The (b)fool says in his heart, (c)"There is no God."
They are (d)corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
(e)there is none who does good.
2 The Lord (f)looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,[a]
who (g)seek after God.
3 They have all turned aside; together they have become (h)corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4 Have they no (i)knowledge, all the evildoers
who (j)eat up my people as they eat bread
and (k)do not call upon the Lord?
5 There they are in great terror,
for God is with (l)the generation of the righteous.
6 You would shame the plans of the poor,
but[b] the Lord is his (m)refuge.
7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord (n)restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
