Psalms 14

1 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.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim ·Deity, Judge·.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

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

Adonai looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

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

All have gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

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

Have all the workers of vain striving of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Adonai?

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

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

6 All of you have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Adonai is his refuge.

7 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.

Oh that the yishu'ah ·salvation· of Israel [God prevails] would come out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]! When Adonai restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob [Supplanter] shall rejoice, and Israel [God prevails] shall be glad.
