Psalms 14

1The fool says in that fool's heart: There is no God. They are corrupt; they have done terrible things; there is no one who does good.

2The LORD leans down from heaven to look at humanity, to see if there is anyone who understands, anyone who seeks God.

3Everyone has turned away; everyone has become corrupt together. There is no one who does good, not even one.

4Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as if eating bread, and they do not call on the LORD.

5There they will be filled with terror, because God is with the generation of the righteous.

6You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.

7Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of the LORD's people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad.
