Psalm 14

New Coverdale Version

The fool has said in his heart, * “There is no God.”

They are corrupt and have become abominable in their doings; * there is none that does good, no, not one.

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there were any who would understand and seek after God.

But they have all gone astray; they have altogether become abominable; * there is none that does good, no, not one.

Have they no knowledge, all those workers of evil, * who eat up my people as bread, and call not upon the Lord?

There were they brought into great fear, even where no fear was; * for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Though you have made a mockery of the counsel of the poor, * yet they put their trust in the Lord.

Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of Zion? * When the Lord restores his captive people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
