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.

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.
