Human Wickedness (PSA 14:1-7)

[14:1] Fools say to themselves, “There is no God!” They are all corrupt, and they have done terrible things; there is no one who does what is right.

[14:2] The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.

[14:3] But they have all gone wrong; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.

[14:4] “Don't they know?” asks the Lord. “Are all these evildoers ignorant? They live by robbing my people, and they never pray to me.”

[14:5] But then they will be terrified, for God is with those who obey him.

[14:6] Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble, but the Lord is their protection.

[14:7] How I pray that victory will come to Israel from Zion. How happy the people of Israel will be when the Lord makes them prosperous again!
