Psalms 14
For the choir director: A psalm of David.
1Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!
2The Lord looks down from heaven
on the entire human race;
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
3But no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt.
Psalms 14:3Psalms 14:3 Greek version reads have become useless. Compare Rom 3:12.
No one does good,
not a single one!
4Will those who do evil never learn?
They eat up my people like bread
and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.
5Terror will grip them,
for God is with those who obey him.
6The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
but the Lord will protect his people.
7Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?
When the Lord restores his people,
Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
