Psalm 14 - New Revised Standard Version New Revised Standard Version
Psalm 14

¹ Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is no one who does good.

² The Lord looks down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

³ They have all gone astray, they are all alike perverse; there is no one who 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 company of the righteous.

⁶ You would confound the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.

⁷ O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
