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.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, 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.

YHWH looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek Elohim.

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

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: 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?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon YHWH.

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

There were they in great fear: for Elohim is in the generation of the righteous.

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

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because YHWH 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 YHWH bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
