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.

Psalms 14
14
Psalm 14#14:0 Psalm 14 is virtually identical in wording to Psalm 53.
For the choir director; by David.
1Godless fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt.
They do disgusting things.
There is no one who does good things.
2The Lord looks down from heaven on Adam’s descendants
to see if there is anyone who acts wisely,
if there is anyone who seeks help from God.
3Everyone has turned away.
Together they have become rotten to the core.
No one, not even one person, does good things.
4Are all those troublemakers,
those who devour my people as if they were devouring food,
so ignorant that they do not call on the Lord?
5There they are—panic-stricken
because God is with the person who is righteous.
6They put the advice of oppressed people to shame
because the Lord is their refuge.
7If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,
Jacob will rejoice.
Israel will be glad.
