Psalm 14 (WEBP)

[1] The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.
[2] Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.
[3] They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.
[4] Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?
[5] There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.
[6] You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.
[7] Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

[2] The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God.
[3] They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
[4] Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
[5] There were they in great fear: For God is in the generation of the righteous.
[6] Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, Because the Lord is his refuge.
[7] Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
