Psalms 14

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.	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 looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.	2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the human race, To see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.	3 All have gone astray; all alike are perverse. Not one does what is right, not even one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.	4 Will these evildoers never learn? They devour my people as they devour bread; they do not call upon the LORD.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.	5 They have good reason, then, to fear; God is with the company of the just.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.	6 They would crush the hopes of the poor, but the poor have the LORD as their refuge.
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.	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!
