Psalms 14

1 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.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The foole hath said in his heart, There is no God: they haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth good.

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

The Lord looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

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

All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

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

Doe not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.

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

There they shall be taken with feare, because God is in the generation of the iust.

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

You haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore, because the Lord is his trust.

7 '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!

Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.
