Psalm 14 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

(Psa 53:1–6 )

For the choir director. Of David.

The [fn]wicked^H5036 fool^H5036 says^H559 in his heart^H3820, “There^H369 is^H369 no^H369 God^H430.”

They act^H7843 corruptly^H7843, they commit^H8581 abominable^H8581 [fn]deeds^H5949;

There^H369 is^H369 no^H369 one^H369 who does^H6213 good^H2896.

Yahweh^H3068 looks^H8259 down^H8259 from heaven^H8064 upon the sons^H1121 of men^H120

To see^H7200 if there^H3426 is^H3426 anyone^H3426 who [fn]has insight^H7919,

Anyone who seeks^H1875 after God^H430.

They have all^H3605 turned^H5493 aside^H5493, altogether^H3162 they have become^H444 [fn]worthless^H444;

There^H369 is^H369 no^H369 one^H369 who does^H6213 good^H2896, not even^H1571 one^H259.

Do all^H3605 the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205 not know^H3045,

Who eat^H398 up^H398 my people^H5971 as they eat^H398 bread^H3899,

And do not call^H7121 upon Yahweh^H3068?

There^H8033 they are^H6342 in^H6342 great^H6343 dread^H6342,

For God^H430 is with the righteous^H6662 generation^H1755.

You would put^H954 to^H954 shame^H954 the counsel^H6098 of the afflicted^H6041,

But Yahweh^H3068 is his refuge^H4268.

Oh^H4310^H5414, that the salvation^H3444 of Israel^H3478 [fn]would come out of Zion^H6726!

When Yahweh^H3068 [fn]restores^H7725 His captive^H7622 people^H5971,

May Jacob^H3290 rejoice^H1523, may Israel^H3478 be^H8055 glad^H8055.

One who rejects wisdom in rebellion against God

Lit doings

Or acts wisely

Or corrupt

Lit would be

Or restores the fortunes of His people
