The Holy Bible

King James Version

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 14

  

The Folly and Heartlessness of the Godless

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God.

They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good.   2 The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside,
they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.   4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 5 There were they in great fear:
for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor,
because the Lord is his refuge.   7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!
when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people,
Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
