Psalms 14

   |   

Human Wickedness[a](a)

1 (b)Fools say to themselves,
    "There is no God!"
They are all corrupt,
    and they have done terrible things;
    there is no one who does what is right.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans
    to see if there are any who are wise,
    any who worship him.
3 But they have all gone wrong;
    they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
    not a single one.

4 "Don't they know?" asks the Lord.
    "Are all these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
    and they never pray to me."

5 But then they will be terrified,
    for God is with those who obey him.
6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble,
    but the Lord is their protection.

7 How I pray that victory
    will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
    when the Lord makes them prosperous again!
