Psalm 14

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 To the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God.

3 They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not 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 shall be in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous.

6 You would confound the plans of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

7 O that deliverance for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.

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