Psalm 14
Legacy Standard Bible

There Is No One Who Does Good

For the choir director. Of David.

14 The [a]wicked fool (A)says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They act corruptly, they commit abominable [b]deeds;
There is (B)no one who does good.
2 Yahweh (C)looks down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who [c](D)has insight,
Anyone who (E)seeks after God.
3 They have all (F)turned aside, altogether they have become [d]worthless;
There is (G)no one who does good, not even one.

4 Do all the workers of iniquity (H)not know,
Who (I)eat up my people as they eat bread,
And (J)do not call upon Yahweh?
5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with the (K)righteous generation.
6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But Yahweh is his (L)refuge.

7 Oh, that (M)the salvation of Israel [e]would come out of Zion!
When Yahweh [f](N)restores His captive people,
May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

Psalm 14
Common English Bible

Psalm 14

For the music leader. Of David.

14 Fools say in their hearts, There is no God.
    They are corrupt and do evil things;
    not one of them does anything good.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven on humans
    to see if anyone is wise,
    to see if anyone seeks God,
3         but all of them have turned bad.
        Everyone is corrupt.
        No one does good—
        not even one person!

4 Are they dumb, all these evildoers,
    devouring my people
    like they are eating bread
        but never calling on the Lord?

5 Count on it:[a] they will be in utter panic
    because God is with the righteous generation.
6 You evildoers may humiliate
    the plans of those who suffer,
        but the Lord is their refuge.

7 Let Israel’s salvation come out of Zion!
        When the Lord changes
        his people’s circumstances for the better,
        Jacob will rejoice;
        Israel will celebrate!
