14:1   [For the choir director; by David.] Godless fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do disgusting things. There is no one who does good things.
14:2  The LORD looks down from heaven on Adam's descendants to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, if there is anyone who seeks help from God.
14:3  Everyone has turned away. Together they have become rotten to the core. No one, not even one person, does good things.
14:4  Are all those troublemakers, those who devour my people as if they were devouring food, so ignorant that they do not call on the LORD?
14:5  There they are-panic-stricken because God is with the person who is righteous.
14:6  They put the advice of oppressed people to shame because the LORD is their refuge.
14:7  If only salvation for Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice. Israel will be glad.
