Psalms 14

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Do they not know anything, those who commit iniquity, those who eat up my people as they eat bread, but who do not call on Yahweh?

'Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'

5 They tremble with dread, for God is with the righteous assembly!

There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

6 You want to humiliate the poor person even though Yahweh is his refuge.

Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When Yahweh brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
