New Testament
Psalm 14
Psalm 14
The Fool
For the choir director. By David.
A Description of the Fool
1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt. They do disgusting things.
There is no one who does good.
2The Lord looks down from heaven on all the children of Adam
to see if there is anyone who understands,
anyone who seeks God.
3Every one has turned away.
Altogether they have become rotten.
There is no one who does good.
There is not even one.
The Final Fate of the Fool
4Don't any of these evildoers understand,
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread?
They do not call on the Lord.
5There they are! They are terrified
because God is present in the circle of the righteous.
6You try to put the plans of the poor to shame,
but the Lord is their refuge.
Closing Prayer
When the Lord restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
