Psalms 14

   |   

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

1 The fool has (a)said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable [a]deeds;
There is (b)no one who does good.
2 The Lord has (c)looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who [b](d)understand,
Who (e)seek after God.
3 They have all (f)turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is (g)no one who does good, not even one.

4 Do all the workers of wickedness (h)not know,
Who (i)eat up my people as they eat bread,
And (j)do not call upon the Lord?
5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with the (k)righteous generation.
6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his (l)refuge.

7 Oh, that (m)the salvation of Israel [c]would come out of Zion!
When the Lord [d](n)restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
