Foolishness and Wickedness of People.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
14
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts;
There is no one who does good.
2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there are any who [a]understand,
Who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
4 Do all the workers of injustice not know,
Who devour my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?
5 There they are in great dread,
For God is with a righteous generation.
6 You would put to shame the plan of the poor,
But the Lord is his refuge.
7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
