Psalms 14

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
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 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 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.	2 Yahweh looks down from heaven at the children of Adam. To see if a single one is wise, a single oneseeks God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.	3 Al have turned away, all alike turned sour, not one of them does right, not a single 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 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 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.	5 They wil be gripped with fear, where there is no need for fear, for God takes the side of the upright;
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.	6 you may mock the plans of the poor, but Yahweh is 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 Who wil bring from Zion salvation for Israel? When Yahweh brings his people home, what joy forJacob, what happiness for Israel!
