Psalms 14

¹ [For the choirmaster Of David] The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' Their deeds arecorrupt and vile, not one of them does right.

² Yahweh looks down from heaven at the children of Adam. To see if a single one is wise, a single oneseeks God.

³ Al have turned away, all alike turned sour, not one of them does right, not a single one.

⁴ Are they not aware, all these evil-doers? They are devouring my people, this is the bread they eat, andthey never call to Yahweh.

⁵ They wil be gripped with fear, where there is no need for fear, for God takes the side of the upright;

⁶ you may mock the plans of the poor, but Yahweh is their refuge.

⁷ Who wil bring from Zion salvation for Israel? When Yahweh brings his people home, what joy forJacob, what happiness for Israel!
