Psalms 14

For the Chief Musician. By David.

¹The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt.
They have done abominable works.
There is none who does good.
²Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there were any who did understand,
who did seek after God.
³They have all gone aside.
They have together become corrupt.
There is none who does good, no, not one.
⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and don’t call on Yahweh?
⁵There they were in great fear,
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
⁶You frustrate the plan of the poor,
because Yahweh is his refuge.
⁷Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people,
then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. A Psalm by David.
