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.

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.

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 the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

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

They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even 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, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

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

There were they 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 have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] 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.

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.
