14:1 For the director of music. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
14:2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
14:3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
14:4 Will evildoers never learn–those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD?
14:5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.
14:6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.
14:7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
14:1 The fool has said in his heart, / There is no God. / They are corrupt; they commit abominable deeds; / There is none who does good.
14:2 Jehovah looked down from heaven / Upon the sons of men / To see if there was anyone who had insight, / Who seeks after God.
14:3 They have all turned aside; / They are together perverse. / There is none who does good; / There is not even one.
14:4 Have they no knowledge, all the workers of iniquity, / Who eat up my people as they would eat up bread / And do not call upon Jehovah?
14:5 There they were in great fear, / For God is among the generation of the righteous.
14:6 You put the counsel of the afflicted to shame, / But Jehovah is their refuge.
14:7 Oh that the salvation of Israel might come forth from Zion! / When Jehovah turns the captivity of His people, / Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.
