Psalm 14 - Tree of Life Version

There Is No God?

¹ For the music director, of David. The fool said in his heart: “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

² Adonai looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.

³ They all turned aside, became corrupt. There is no one who does good —not even one.

⁴ “Will evildoers never understand— those who consume My people as they eat bread— and never call on Adonai?”

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

⁶ You would frustrate the plan of the lowly. Surely Adonai is his refuge!

⁷ O may He give Israel’s salvation out of Zion! When Adonai restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad!
