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 noGod. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

2He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

2 Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seekGod.

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.

3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even 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;

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They 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.

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

6(not in this translation)

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.

7(not in this translation)

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