Psalm 14
14
The Fool Says, There Is No God
To the choirmaster. Of David.
1 # For ver. 1-7, see Ps. 53:1-6 The #Ps. 74:18, 22; Job 2:10 fool says in his heart, #Ps. 10:4 “There is no God.”
They are #Gen. 6:5, 11, 12 corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
# Cited Rom. 3:10-12 there is none who does good.
2The Lord #Ps. 102:19; [Ps. 11:4] looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand,#14:2 Or that act wisely
who #2 Chr. 15:2; 19:3seek after God.
3They have all turned aside; together they have become #Job 15:16corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.
4Have they no #Ps. 82:5; [Isa. 1:3; Jer. 4:22] knowledge, all the evildoers
who #Prov. 30:14; Jer. 10:25; Hos. 7:7; [Ps. 27:2; Amos 8:4; Mic. 3:3] eat up my people as they eat bread
and #Ps. 79:6; Jer. 10:25; Hos. 7:7; [Isa. 64:7]do not call upon the Lord?
5There they are in great terror,
for God is with #Ps. 24:6; 73:15the generation of the righteous.
6You would shame the plans of the poor,
but#14:6 Or for the Lord is his #Ps. 46:1; 61:3; 62:7, 8; 91:2; 142:5refuge.
7Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord #Ps. 85:1; 126:1; Job 42:10; Jer. 30:18; Ezek. 16:53; 39:25; Hos. 6:11; Joel 3:1restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1The #Ps. 10:4; 53:1fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2#Ps. 33:13, 14; 102:19; Rom. 3:11The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3#Rom. 3:12They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And #Ps. 79:6; Is. 64:7; Jer. 10:25; Amos 8:4; Mic. 3:3do not call on the Lord?
5There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.
6You shame the counsel of the poor,
But the Lord is his #Ps. 9:9; 40:17; 46:1; 142:5refuge.
7#Ps. 53:6; (Rom. 11:25–27)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
#Deut. 30:3; Job 42:10When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
