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.

Psalm 14
14
The Fool Says, There Is No God
To the choirmaster. Of David.
1 # For ver. 1-7, see Ps. 53:1-6 The #Ps. 74:18, 22; Job 2:10 fool says in his heart, #Ps. 10:4 “There is no God.”
They are #Gen. 6:5, 11, 12 corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
# Cited Rom. 3:10-12 there is none who does good.
2The Lord #Ps. 102:19; [Ps. 11:4] looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,#14:2 Or that act wisely
who #2 Chr. 15:2; 19:3seek after God.
3They have all turned aside; together they have become #Job 15:16corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4Have they no #Ps. 82:5; [Isa. 1:3; Jer. 4:22] knowledge, all the evildoers
who #Prov. 30:14; Jer. 10:25; Hos. 7:7; [Ps. 27:2; Amos 8:4; Mic. 3:3] eat up my people as they eat bread
and #Ps. 79:6; Jer. 10:25; Hos. 7:7; [Isa. 64:7]do not call upon the Lord?
5There they are in great terror,
for God is with #Ps. 24:6; 73:15the generation of the righteous.
6You would shame the plans of the poor,
but#14:6 Or for the Lord is his #Ps. 46:1; 61:3; 62:7, 8; 91:2; 142:5refuge.
7Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord #Ps. 85:1; 126:1; Job 42:10; Jer. 30:18; Ezek. 16:53; 39:25; Hos. 6:11; Joel 3:1restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
