Psalm 14




Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!


LORD you look down from heaven
on the entire human race;
you look to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.


But no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt.
No one does good,
not a single one!


Will those who do evil never learn?
They eat up my community of people like bread
and wouldn’t think of praying to you LORD.


Terror will grip them,
for you God are with those who obey you.


The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed,
but you LORD will protect the people.
