# Chapter 14
|
||
1 Only fools say in their hearts,
|
||
“There is no God.”
|
||
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
|
||
not one of them does good!
|
||
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
|
||
on the entire human race;
|
||
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
|
||
if anyone seeks God.
|
||
3 But no, all have turned away;
|
||
all have become corrupt.
|
||
No one does good,
|
||
not a single one!
|
||
4 Will those who do evil never learn?
|
||
They eat up my people like bread
|
||
and wouldn’t think of praying to the Lord.
|
||
5 Terror will grip them,
|
||
for God is with those who obey him.
|
||
6 The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
|
||
but the Lord will protect his people.
|
||
7 Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?
|
||
When the Lord restores his people,
|
||
Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice. |
