Psalms 14

New King James Version

¹ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

² The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

³ They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.

⁴ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the LORD?

⁵ There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous.

⁶ You shame the counsel of the poor, But the LORD is his refuge.

⁷ Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
