Psalms 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who will dwell in your tabernacle? Or who will rest on your holy mountain?
2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the human race, To see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.	2 He who walks without blemish and who works justice.
3 All have gone astray; all alike are perverse. Not one does what is right, not even one.	3 He who speaks the truth in his heart, who has not acted deceitfully with his tongue, and has not done evil to his neighbor, and has not taken up a reproach against his neighbors.
4 Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon the LORD.	4 In his sight, the malicious one has been reduced to nothing, but he glorifies those who fear the Lord. He who swears to his neighbor and does not deceive.
5 They have good reason, then, to fear; God is with the company of the just.	5 He who has not given his money in usury, nor accepted bribes against the innocent. He who does these things will be undisturbed for eternity.
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!
