Psalms 14

¹To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt; they have done abominable deeds; there is none who does good.

²The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there is any who is wise, who seeks God.

³They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

⁴Do all the workers of iniquity not know — those who eat my people as they eat bread? They do not call upon the LORD.

⁵There they trembled in great dread, for God is with the righteous generation.

⁶You would put to shame the plans of the afflicted, but the LORD is his refuge.

⁷O that salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
