14:1 |
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. |
14:2 |
The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. |
14:3 |
All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. |
14:4 |
Will evildoers never learn--those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD? |
14:5 |
There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. |
14:6 |
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge. |
14:7 |
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! |
