Psalms 14

1 [For the Chief Musician. By David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable works. There is none who 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 YHWH looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after 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 have all turned away. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who 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 evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call on YHWH.

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

5 There they are utterly terrified, 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 You would frustrate the plans of the lowly, but YHWH is his refuge.

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

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When YHWH restores the fortunes of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel 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.
