Psalm 14

₁The fool says in his heart, “There | is no God.”*

        They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds,

        there is none | who does good.

₂The Lord looks down from heaven on the chil- | dren of man,*

        to see if there are any who understand, who seek | after God.

₃They have all turned aside; together they have be- | come corrupt;*

        there is none who does good, not | even one.

₄Have they no knowledge, all the evil- | doers*

        who eat up my people as they eat bread

        and do not call up- | on the Lord?

₅There they are in great | terror,*

        for God is with the generation of the | righteous.

₆You would shame the plans | of the poor,*

        but the Lord is his | refuge.

₇Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of | Zion!*

        When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,

        let Jacob rejoice, let Israel | be glad.
