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 The LORD 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 the LORD.

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 the LORD is his refuge.

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