Psalm 14
To the choirmaster. Of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt and have become abominable in their doings; there is none that does good, no, not one.
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any who would understand and seek after God.
But they have all gone astray; they have altogether become abominable; there is none that does good, no, not one.
Have they no knowledge, all those workers of evil, who eat up my people as bread, and call not upon the Lord?
There were they brought into great fear, even where no fear was; for God is in the generation of the righteous.
Though you have made a mockery of the counsel of the poor, yet they put their trust in the Lord.
Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Zion? When the Lord restores his captive people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
