The Psalms

Psalm 14

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

 ^14:1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

 They are corrupt, they have done abominable works;

 There is none that doeth good.

 ^14:2Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

 To see if there were any that did understand,

 That did seek after God.

 ^14:3They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy;

 There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 ^14:4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,

 Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

 And call not upon Jehovah?

 ^14:5There were they in great fear;

 For God is in the generation of the righteous.

 ^14:6Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor,

 Because Jehovah is his refuge.

 ^14:7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

 When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people,

 Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
