Psalms 14:1-7
To the director. Of David.
14 The foolish* one says in his heart:
“There is no Jehovah.”+
Their actions are corrupt, and their dealings are detestable;No one is doing good.+
2 But Jehovah looks down from heaven on the sons of menTo see whether anyone has insight, whether anyone is seeking Jehovah.+
3 They have all turned aside;+They are all alike corrupt.
No one is doing good,Not even one.
4 Do none of the wrongdoers understand?
They devour my people as if they were eating bread.
They do not call on Jehovah.
5 But they will be filled with great terror,+For Jehovah is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You wrongdoers try to frustrate the plans of the lowly one,But Jehovah is his refuge.+
7 O that Israel’s salvation may come from Zion!+
When Jehovah gathers back his captive people,Let Jacob be joyful, let Israel rejoice.
