Psalms 14

1A psalm for David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.

2He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

2Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.

3He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

3They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my peopleasthey eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

5He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.

5There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.

6(not in this translation)

6Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

7(not in this translation)

7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, andIsrael shall be glad.
