Psalm 14 (New International Version)

Psalm 14

For the director of music. Of David.

 ¹ The fool ^[a] 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!
