Psalms 14

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

2 Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not on the LORD.

5 There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
