Psalm 14A Portrait of Sinners
|
|
|
|
1. The fool says in his heart, "There's no God."
|
|
They are corrupt; they do vile deeds.
|
|
There is no one who does good.
|
|
|
|
2. The Lord looks down from heaven on the human race
|
|
to see if there is one who is wise,
|
|
one who seeks God.
|
|
|
|
3. All have turned away;
|
|
all alike have become corrupt.
|
|
There is no one who does good,
|
|
not even one.
|
|
|
|
4. Will evildoers never understand?
|
|
They consume my people as they consume bread;
|
|
they do not call on the Lord.
|
|
|
|
5. Then they will be filled with dread,
|
|
for God is with those who are righteous.
|
|
|
|
6. You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
|
|
but the Lord is his refuge.
|
|
|
|
7. Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion!
|
|
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,
|
|
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
