Psalms
Chapter 14
1
(13)The Folly of Those Who Deny God (53)1The fool says in his heart,“God does not exist.”All have strayed, all are perverted,there is no one who does good.
2
The Lord looks down from heaven upon the race of Adam,to see if there are anywho seek God and act wisely.
3
They have all turned aside: corrupt—all of them alike.
4
Will they ever learn—these doers of evil? For they devour my people, —that is their food—and do not call upon the Lord.
5
But suddenly terror strikes them: God was on the side of the just!
6
You may confound the hope of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.
7
Oh would, that I see Israel’s salvation coming from Zion! When the Lord brings home the exiles, what joy it will be for Jacob, what happiness for Israel!
