<< Psalm 14 >> New American Standard Bible © Folly and Wickedness of Men. For the choir director. A Psalm of David. 1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”  They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;  There is no one who does good. 2 The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men  To see if there are any who understand,  Who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;  There is no one who does good, not even one. 4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know,  Who eat up my people as they eat bread,  And do not call upon the Lord? 5 There they are in great dread,  For God is with the righteous generation. 6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,  But the LORD is his refuge. 7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!  When the LORD restores His captive people,  Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
