Psalms 14

1 Fools say to themselves, "There is no God!" They are all corrupt, and they have done terrible things; there is no one who does what is right.

1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

3 But they have all gone wrong; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.

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

4 "Don't they know?" asks the Lord. "Are all these evildoers ignorant? They live by robbing my people, and they never pray to me."

4 Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the LORD.

5 But then they will be terrified, for God is with those who obey him.

5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.

6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble, but the Lord is their protection.

6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.

7 How I pray that victory will come to Israel from Zion. How happy the people of Israel will be when the Lord makes them prosperous again!

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
