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.

To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of 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.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

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

The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even 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 working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

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

There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

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

The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [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.

'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
