Psalms 14

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; 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 The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

3 They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 'Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'

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

5 There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

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

6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
