# Psalm 14 To the choirmaster. Of David. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the LORD? 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. There they are in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. You would shame the plans of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
