Psalm 14 complete

[1] To the choir master. Di Davide. The fool thinks: "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable things: nobody acts well anymore.

[2] The Lord from heaven bends over men to see if there is a sage: if there is one who is looking for God.


[3] All have led astray, they are all corrupt; no one does good anymore, not even one.

[4] Do not all the wicked, who devour my people like bread, understand anything?

[5] They do not invoke God: they will tremble with fear, because God is with the race of the just.

[6] You want to confuse the hopes of the poor, but the Lord is his refuge.

[7] The salvation of Israel comes from Zion! When the Lord brings his people back, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will rejoice.
