Psalm 14, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

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.
