PSALM 14
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1That there is not a God, the fool
doth in his heart conclude:
They are corrupt, their works are vile;
not one of them doth good.
2Upon men's sons the Lord from heav'n
did cast his eyes abroad,
To see if any understood,
and did seek after God.
3They altogether filthy are,
they all aside are gone;
And there is none that doeth good,
yea, sure there is not one.
4These workers of iniquity
do they not know at all,
That they my people eat as bread,
and on God do not call?
5There fear'd they much; for God is with
the whole race of the just.
6You shame the counsel of the poor,
because God is his trust.
7Let Isr'el's help from Sion come:
when back the Lord shall bring
His captives, Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall sing.

The Fool Says There Is No God
(Psalms 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17; Romans 3:9–20)
For the choirmaster. Of David.
1The fool #14:1 The Hebrew words rendered fool throughout the Psalms denote one who is morally deficient. says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt; their acts are vile.
There is no one who does good.
2The Lord looks down from heaven
upon the sons of men
to see if any understand,
if any seek God.
3All have turned away,
they have together become corrupt;#14:3 LXX worthless
there is no one who does good,
not even one.#14:3 Cited in Romans 3:10–12
4Will the workers of iniquity never learn?
They devour my people like bread;
they refuse to call upon the Lord.
5There they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is in the company of the righteous.
6You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
yet the Lord is their shelter.
7Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores His captive people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
