Psalms 14

1 “To the chief musician, by David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable [in their] doings, there is none that doth 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 looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for 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 gone aside, they are altogether become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not even one.

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

4 Is there no knowledge in all the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread; [while] they do not call on 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 terrified in terror; for God is with the righteous generation:

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

6 The counsel of the poor [though] you put to shame; because the Lord is his protection.

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

7 Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then will Jacob be glad, and Israel will rejoice.

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.
