Psalms 14
1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The fool saith in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; abominable are their doings; There is none that doeth good.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
2 Jehovah looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God.
The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
3 They are all gone out of the way; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good—no, not one.
They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
4 Shall not the evil-doers be requited, Who devour my people like bread, And call not upon Jehovah?
Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
5 Yea, then shall they be in great fear; For Jehovah is with the race of the righteous.
They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor; But Jehovah is their refuge.
For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
7 Oh that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captives of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel be glad.
Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
