Psalm 14, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

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 the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
 

3

All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
 

4

Will evildoers never learn —
those who devour my people as men eat bread
and who do not call on the LORD ?
 

5

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 the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
