Psalms 14
14
God Looks Down from Heaven # 14 With a few differences, Ps. 14 and Ps. 53 are nearly identical. Ps. 14 is practical; Ps. 53 is prophetic. Ps. 14 deals with the past, Ps. 53 with the future.
For the Pure and Shining One
A Psalm of David
No God
1Only the withering soul # 14:1 Or “fool.” The word for “fool” comes from a Hebrew word meaning “withering.” If we make no room for God, we have withered hearts, our moral sense of righteousness is put to sleep, and the noble aspirations of the heart shrivel up and die. would say to himself,
“There is no God.”
Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous,
devoid of what is good.
2Yahweh looks down in love,
looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters.
He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely,
any who are searching for God and wanting to please him.
None Who Are Good
3But everyone has wandered astray,
walking stubbornly toward evil.
Not one is good; he can’t even find one.
4They live in luxury while exploiting my people!
Won’t these workers of wickedness ever learn?
They don’t ever think of praying to God.
Overwhelmed with Dread
5But look at them now, in panic, trembling with terror.
For God is on the side of his godly lovers.
6Yahweh is always the safest place for the poor
when the workers of wickedness oppress them.
Overcome with Joy
7How I wish that Israel’s rescue
would arise from the midst of Zion!
When Yahweh restores his people,
Jacob’s joy will break forth
and Israel will be glad!

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.
