Psalm 14
New American Standard Bible 1995

Folly and Wickedness of Men.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

14 The fool has (A)said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable [a]deeds;
There is (B)no one who does good.
2 The Lord has (C)looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who [b](D)understand,
Who (E)seek after God.
3 They have all (F)turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is (G)no one who does good, not even one.

4 Do all the workers of wickedness (H)not know,
Who (I)eat up my people as they eat bread,
And (J)do not call upon the Lord?
5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with the (K)righteous generation.
6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his (L)refuge.

7 Oh, that (M)the salvation of Israel [c]would come out of Zion!
When the Lord [d](N)restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

New International Version

Psalm 14(A)

For the director of music. Of David.

1 The fool[a] says in his heart,
    “There is no God.”(B)
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
    there is no one who does good.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven(C)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(D)
    any who seek God.(E)
3 All have turned away,(F) all have become corrupt;(G)
    there is no one who does good,(H)
    not even one.(I)

4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?(J)

They devour my people(K) as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.(L)
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge.(M)

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(N)
    When the Lord restores(O) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
