Psalms 14

¹ For the leader. Of David. Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt; not one does what is right.

² The LORD looks down from heaven upon the human race, To see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.

³ All have gone astray; all alike are perverse. Not one does what is right, not even one.

⁴ Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon the LORD.

⁵ They have good reason, then, to fear; God is with the company of the just.

⁶ They would crush the hopes of the poor, but the poor have the LORD as their refuge.

⁷ Oh, that from Zion might come the deliverance of Israel, That Jacob may rejoice, and Israel be glad when the LORD restores his people!
