Psalm 14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

14 The fool has ^(A)said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts;
There is ^(B)no one who does good.
²The Lord has ^(C)looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there are any who ^[a]^(D)understand,
Who ^(E)seek God.
³They have all ^(F)turned aside, together they are corrupt;
There is ^(G)no one who does good, not even one.

⁴Do all the workers of injustice ^(H)not know,
Who ^(I)devour my people as they eat bread,
And ^(J)do not call upon the Lord?
⁵There they are in great dread,
For God is with a ^(K)righteous generation.
⁶You would put to shame the plan of the poor,
But the Lord is his ^(L)refuge.

⁷Oh, that ^(M)the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord ^(N)restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
