Psalm
Psalms, 14
To the director. Of David.
1 The senseless one has said in his heart: “There is no Jehovah.”*1 They have acted ruinously, they have acted detestably in [their] dealing. There is no one doing good.*2
|
2 As for Jehovah, he has looked down from heaven itself upon the sons of men, To see whether there exists anyone having insight, anyone seeking Jehovah.*1
|
3 They have all turned aside, they are [all] alike corrupt; There is no one doing good, Not even one.*1
|
4 Have none of the practicers of what is hurtful got knowledge, Eating up my people as they have eaten bread? They have not called even upon Jehovah.
5 There they were filled with a great dread,*1 For Jehovah*2 is among the generation of the righteous one.

6 The counsel of the afflicted one YOU people would put to shame, Because Jehovah is his refuge.
7 O that out of Zion there were the salvation of Israel! When Jehovah gathers back the captive ones of his people, Let Jacob be joyful, let Israel rejoice.
