To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
[14:1] The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good.
[14:2] The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.
[14:3] They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.
[14:4] Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord?
[14:5] There they are in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous.
[14:6] You would shame the plans of the poor, but the Lord is his refuge.
[14:7] Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
