Psalm 14

1. (0) For the leader. By David: 1 (1) Fools say in their hearts, 1 “There is no God.” 1 They deal corruptly, their deeds are vile, 1 not one does what is right.

2. From heaven Adonai observes humankind 2 to see if anyone has understanding, 2 if anyone seeks God.

3. But all turn aside, all alike are corrupt; 3 no one does what is right, 3 not a single one.

4. Don’t they ever learn, 4 all those evildoers, 4 who eat up my people as if eating bread 4 and never call on Adonai?

5. There they are, utterly terrified; 5 for God is with those who are righteous.

6. You may mock the plans of the poor, 6 but their refuge is Adonai.

7. How I wish Isra’el’s salvation 7 would come out of Tziyon! 7 When Adonai restores his people’s fortunes, 7 Ya‘akov will rejoice, Isra’el will be glad!
