Psalms 14

   |   

Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

1 The fool has (C1)said in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts;
There is (C2)no one who does good.

2 The LORD has (C1)looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there are any who (F1)(C2)understand,
Who (C3)seek God.

3 They have all (C1)turned aside, together they are corrupt;
There is (C2)no one who does good, not even one.

4 Do all the workers of injustice (C1)not know,
Who (C2)devour my people as they eat bread,
And (C3)do not call upon the LORD?

5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with a (C1)righteous generation.

6 You would put to shame the plan of the poor,
But the LORD is his (C1)refuge.

7 Oh, that (C1)the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD (C2)restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
