Psalm 14 - ESV Online - Literal Word

PSALM 14

The Fool Says, There Is No God

To the choirmaster. Of David.
14:1

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;

there is none who does good.
2

The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man,

to see if there are any who understand,

who seek after God.
3

They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;

there is none who does good,

not even one.
4

Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers

who eat up my people as they eat bread

and do not call upon the Lord?
5

There they are in great terror,

for God is with the generation of the righteous. 6

You would shame the plans of the poor,

but the Lord is his refuge.
7

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,

let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
