14:1 Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is no one who does good. 14:2 The LORD looks down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God. 14:3 They have all gone astray, they are all alike perverse; there is no one who does good, no, not one. 14:4 Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon the LORD? 14:5 There they shall be in great terror, for God is with the company of the righteous. 14:6 You would confound the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge. 14:7 O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.
