Psalms 14

1 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.

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.

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

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

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

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

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, They have not called YHWH.

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

5 They have feared a fear there, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

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

6 You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, Because YHWH [is] his refuge.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge.

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

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.
