Psalm 14 - New International Version (Anglicised)

Psalm 14

For the director of music. Of David.

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 on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

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

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

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

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

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