Psalm 14

For the Chief Musician. By David.

cb(14,1); 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt.

They have done abominable works.

There is none who does good.

cb(14,2); 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men,

to see if there were any who did understand,

who did seek after God.

cb(14,3); 14:3 They have all gone aside.

They have together become corrupt.

There is none who does good, no, not one.

cb(14,4); 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

who eat up my people as they eat bread,

and don’t call on the LORD?

cb(14,5); 14:5 There they were in great fear,

for God is in the generation of the righteous.

cb(14,6); 14:6 You frustrate the plan of the poor,

because the LORD is his refuge.

cb(14,7); 14:7 Oh that the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion!

When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,

then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
