Psalms 14
14
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
No One Can Ignore the Lord
1 #
Ro 3.10-12. Only a fool would say,
“There is no God!”
People like that are worthless;
they are heartless and cruel
and never do right.
2From heaven the Lord
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.
3But all of them are corrupt;
no one does right.
4Won't you evil people learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the Lord's people.
5But you will be frightened,
because God is on the side
of every good person.
6You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
but the Lord protects them.
7I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our Lord, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.

Psalm 14
14
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
There is none that doeth good.
2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God.
3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
Who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
5There were they in great fear:
For God is in the generation of the righteous.
6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor,
Because the LORD is his refuge.
7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
When the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
