< Psalms 14 >
1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The foole hath said in his heart, There is no God: they haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth 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.
The Lord looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth 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.
Doe not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous.
There they shall be taken with feare, because God is in the generation of the iust.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge.
You haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore, because the Lord is his trust.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.
