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.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God#GodHebrew: Elohim They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good. 2Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God#GodHebrew: Elohim 3They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah. 5There were they in great fear; for God#GodHebrew: Elohim is in the generation of the righteous. 6Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah was his refuge. 7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
