Psalms 14 - with Dr. Karen

For the director of music. Of David. 

1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. 

2 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 

3 All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. 

4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the Lord.

5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. 

6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge. 

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
