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 OVERSEER. BY DAVID. A fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”; They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of 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.

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

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

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

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

They have feared a fear there, 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.

You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, Because YHWH [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.

“Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion?” When YHWH turns back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
