Psalms 14

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.

Psalms 14
14
Psalm 14
For the music leader. Of David.
1Fools say in their hearts, There is no God.
They are corrupt and do evil things;
not one of them does anything good.
2The LORD looks down from heaven on humans
to see if anyone is wise,
to see if anyone seeks God,
3but all of them have turned bad.
Everyone is corrupt.
No one does good—
not even one person!
4Are they dumb, all these evildoers,
devouring my people
like they are eating bread
but never calling on the LORD?
5Count on it:#14.5 Or There they will be; cf 53:5 they will be in utter panic
because God is with the righteous generation.
6You evildoers may humiliate
the plans of those who suffer,
but the LORD is their refuge.
7Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion!
When the LORD changes
his people’s circumstances for the better,
Jacob will rejoice;
Israel will celebrate!
