Psalms 14
Human Wickedness[a](a)
1 (b)Fools say to themselves,
"There is no God!"
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3 But they have all gone wrong;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4 "Don't they know?" asks the Lord.
"Are all these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me."
5 But then they will be terrified,
for God is with those who obey him.
6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble,
but the Lord is their protection.
7 How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when the Lord makes them prosperous again!
