Psalms 14

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

1To the Overseer. --By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

2He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

2Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one--seeking 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.

3The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of 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;

4Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

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 they have feared a fear, For God <FI>is<Fi> in the generation of the righteous.

6(not in this translation)

6The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> his refuge.

7(not in this translation)

7`Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back <FI>To<Fi> a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!
