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.
