Psalm 14 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

Psa 14:1

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

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.

Psa 14:2

The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind

To see if there are any who [fn]understand,

Who seek God.

Psa 14:3

They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt;

There is no one who does good, not even one.

Psa 14:4

Do all the workers of injustice not know,

Who devour my people as they eat bread,

And do not call upon the LORD?

Psa 14:5

There they are in great dread,

For God is with a righteous generation.

Psa 14:6

You would put to shame the plan of the poor,

But the LORD is his refuge.

Psa 14:7

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.
