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.

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 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 down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did 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 [all] together become filthy: [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?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? 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 were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

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

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because 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 bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
