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 the Overseer. --By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.
2
Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one--seeking God.
3
The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

Judgment on the Workers of Iniquity

4
Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.
5
There they have feared a fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.
6
The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah is his refuge.

A Prayer for Israel's Salvation

7
`Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back To a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice--Israel is glad!
