# Psalm 14 (New King James Version)
Folly of the Godless, and God's Final Triumph

##### Chapter 14
###### 1 The fool has said in his heart,  
"_There is_ no God."  
They are corrupt,  
They have done abominable works,  
There is none who does good.

###### 2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,  
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.  

###### 3 They have all turned aside,  
They have together become corrupt;  
_There is_ none who does good,  
No, not one.

###### 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,  
Who eat up my people _as_ they eat bread,  
And do not call on the Lord?  

###### 5 There they are in great fear,  
For God _is_ with the generation of the righteous.  

###### 6 You shame the counsel of the poor,  
But the Lord _is_ his refuge.

###### 7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel _would come_ out of Zion!  
When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people,  
Let Jacob rejoice _and_ Israel be glad.
