  • Psalm 14

    Psalm 14

    For the music leader. Of David.

    14 Fools say in their hearts, There is no God.
        They are corrupt and do evil things;
        not one of them does anything good.

    2 The Lord looks down from heaven on humans
        to see if anyone is wise,
        to see if anyone seeks God,
    3         but all of them have turned bad.
            Everyone is corrupt.
            No one does good—
            not even one person!

    4 Are they dumb, all these evildoers,
        devouring my people
        like they are eating bread
            but never calling on the Lord?

    5 Count on it: they will be in utter panic
        because God is with the righteous generation.
    6 You evildoers may humiliate
        the plans of those who suffer,
            but the Lord is their refuge.

    7 Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion!
            When the Lord changes
            his people’s circumstances for the better,
            Jacob will rejoice;
            Israel will celebrate!
