Chapter 14

To the Overseer. -- By David.

1

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.

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.

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!
