Psalm 14

¶ <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>>

 

 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

 2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 4 ¶ Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

 7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

(KJV)
