Psalms 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the human race, To see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.	2 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
3 All have gone astray; all alike are perverse. Not one does what is right, not even one.	3 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
4 Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon the LORD.	4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread ?
5 They have good reason, then, to fear; God is with the company of the just.	5 They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
6 They would crush the hopes of the poor, but the poor have the LORD as their refuge.	6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
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!	7 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
