Psalms 14

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.

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.

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

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

3The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

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

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

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

5There they have feared a fear, For God <FI>is<Fi> in the generation of the righteous.

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

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

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

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!

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.
