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.

Psalms 14
14
Human Wickedness#Ps 14 Hebrew title: By David.
(Ps 53)
1 #
Rom 3.10–12
Fools say to themselves,
“There is no God.”
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2The LORD looks down from heaven at human beings
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3But they have all gone wrong;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4“Don't they know?” asks the LORD.
“Are all these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me.”
5But then they will be terrified,
for God is with those who obey him.
6Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble,
but the LORD is their protection.
7How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when the LORD makes them prosperous again!
