Psalms 14 — AAB

The Fool Says There Is No God

For the choirmaster. Of David.

14Verse 1The fool⁺says in his heart,“There is no God.”
They are corrupt; their acts are vile.There is no one who does good.^{Verse 2}The LORD looks down from heavenupon the sons of mento see if any understand,if any seek God.^{Verse 3}All have turned away,they have together become corrupt;⁺there is no one who does good,not even one.^{+Verse 4}Will the workers of iniquity never learn?
They devour my people like bread;they refuse to call upon the LORD.^{Verse 5}There they are, overwhelmed with dread,for God is in the company of the righteous.^{Verse 6}You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed,yet the LORD is their shelter.^{Verse 7}Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!
When the LORD restores His captive people,let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
