Psalm 14

1 For the one directing. Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; they have done abominable deeds; there is no one doing good.

2 YHWH looks down from the heavens upon the sons of man, to see, is there one understanding, seeking God?

3 All have turned aside, together they have become corrupt; there is no one doing good, not even one.

4 All those working iniquity, have they not know? They devour my people they have eaten bread; on YHWH they do not call.

5 There they tremble with dread, for God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

6 The counsel of the poor you⁺ have shamed, for YHWH [is] his place of refuge.

7 Who gives from Zion the salvation of Israel? In YHWH turning back the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice; let Israel be glad!
