14:1  For the director. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” People are depraved and their deeds are vile; there is no one who does what is right.
14:2  The Lord looks down from heaven upon the entire human race, to see if there are any who act with wisdom, if even a single one seeks God.
14:3  But they have all left the right path; all alike are corrupt. There is no one who does what is right, not even one.
14:4  Have all these evildoers no understanding? They devour my people as they eat bread, and they never call upon the Lord.
14:5  But later they will be filled with terror, for God is on the side of the righteous.
14:6  They sought to crush the hopes of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.
14:7  Who will accomplish the salvation of Israel that is to come out of Zion? When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will exult.
