Psalms 14:1-7

¹To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

²Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

³They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

⁵There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah was his refuge.

⁷Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
