Ps 14
1
For the end, Psalm of David. - The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They
have corrupted themselves, and become abominable in their devices; there is none that
does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
2
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that
understood, or sought after God.
3
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there
is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their
tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth
is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction
and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no
fear of God before their eyes.
4
Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat
bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
5
There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous
generation.
6
You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
7
Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the
captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
