Psalm 14

¹ For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 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.

² Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

³ They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

⁵ There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶ Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

⁷ Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
