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.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.

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 looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after 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 corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Shall not the evil-doers be requited, Who devour my people like bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

'Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'

5 Yea, then shall they be in great fear; For Jehovah is with the race of the righteous.

There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor; But Jehovah is their refuge.

Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

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.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
