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
For the music director. A psalm of David.
1Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.
2The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.
3They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.
4Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.
5Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.
6The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.
7If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores#14:7. The term used here is often applied to the return from Exile, but here would apply to the blessings the people would receive when they returned to God. his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
