Psalms14

Psalms 14 begins by declaring that the fool denies God, leading to widespread corruption and a lack of good deeds among humanity. The LORD observes from heaven, finding none who truly seek Him. The psalm concludes with a longing for God's salvation to come forth from Zion, bringing restoration and joy to Israel.

The Fool's Rejection of God

1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The foole hath said in his heart, There is no God: they haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth good.
2
The Lord looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.
3
All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Judgment on the Workers of Iniquity

4
Doe not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.
5
There they shall be taken with feare, because God is in the generation of the iust.
6
You haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore, because the Lord is his trust.

A Prayer for Israel's Salvation

7
Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.
