Psalms 14

Open Word Bible

For the music director. Of David. Fools tell themselves, “There is no God.” They are rotten through and through; what they do is detestable. Not one of them does good. From heaven the LORD looks down on the human race to see whether anyone is wise, anyone who is looking for God. Everyone has left the road; all alike have gone bad. No one does good, not a single one. Have they learned nothing, all these evildoers? They devour my people as if they were eating bread, and they never call on the LORD. There they will be gripped by terror, because God is with the people who are righteous. You evildoers would make the hopes of the poor come to nothing, but the LORD is their shelter. If only Zion would send Israel its rescue! When the LORD turns back the fortunes of his people, let Jacob shout for joy and Israel be glad.
