Psalm 14, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
 

2

The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.
 

3

They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
 

4

Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?
 

5

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

6

You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the LORD is his refuge.
 

7

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
