Psalms 14

1 The fool says in his heart, "There's no God." They are corrupt; they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God.

3 All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Will evildoers never understand? They consume my people as they consume bread; they do not call on the LORD.

5 Then they will be filled with dread, for God is with those who are righteous.

6 You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
