For the music director; by David.
14:1 Fools say to themselves,
They sin and commit evil deeds;
none of them does what is right.
14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven
to see if there is anyone who is wise
14:3 Everyone rejects God;
they are all morally corrupt.
None of them does what is right,
not even one!
14:4 All those who behave wickedly
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,
and do not call out to the Lord.
14:5 They are absolutely terrified,
for God defends the godly.
14:6 You want to humiliate the oppressed,
even though
14:7 I wish the deliverance
When the Lord restores the well-being of his people,
may Jacob rejoice,
may Israel be happy!
