Psalm 14

1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

    They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;

    there is none who does good.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man,

    to see if there are any who understand,

   who seek after God.

3 They have all turned aside;

together they have become corrupt;

    there is none who does good,

    not even one.

4 Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers

    who eat up my people as they eat bread

    and do not call upon the Lord?

5 There they are in great terror, 

   for God is with the generation of the righteous.

6 You would shame the plans of the poor,

    but the Lord is his refuge.

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

    When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,

    let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
