Psalm 14 New King James Version (NKJV)

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

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.
