< Psalms 14 >
1 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 Adonai looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.
3 All have gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of vain striving of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Adonai?
5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the upright.
6 You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Adonai is his refuge.
7 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.
