Chapter 14
1 The fool has said in his heart , "There is no God." They are corrupt . They have done abominable deeds . There is no one who does good .
2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men , to see if there were any who understood , who sought after God .
3 They have all gone aside . They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good , no , not one .
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge , who eat up my people as they eat bread , and don’t call on Yahweh ?
5 There they were in great fear , for God is in the generation of the righteous .
6 You frustrate the plan of the poor , because Yahweh is his refuge .
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion ! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people , then Jacob shall rejoice , and Israel shall be glad .
