Psalms 14
14
To the director: A song of David.
1Only fools think there is no God.
People like that are evil and do terrible things.
They never do what is right.
2The Lord looks down from heaven
to see if there is anyone who is wise,
anyone who looks to him for help.
3But everyone has gone the wrong way.
Everyone has turned bad.
No one does anything good.
No, not one person!
4Those who are evil treat my people like bread to be eaten.
And they never ask for the Lord’s help.
Don’t they know what they are doing?
5They will have plenty to fear,
because God is with those who do what is right.
6You wicked people want to spoil the hopes of the poor,
but the Lord will protect them.
7I wish the one who lives on Mount Zion
would bring victory to Israel!
When the Lord makes his people successful again,
the people of Jacob will be happy;
the people of Israel will be glad.

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.
