Psalms 14

1 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.

To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge.

The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

7 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.

'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
