Psalms 14

Theme: Only the fool denies God. How foolish it must seem to God when people say there is no God.

Author: David

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. + +

2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. +

3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. +

4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. +

5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. +

7Oh 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. +
