Psalm 14

^{Tools
1} For the music director; by David. Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right. ^{Tools
2} The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God. ^{Tools
3} Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

^{Tools
4} All those who behave wickedly do not understand -- those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the Lord.

^{Tools
5} They are absolutely terrified, for God defends the godly. ^{Tools
6} You want to humiliate the oppressed, even though the Lord is their shelter.

^{Tools
7} I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion! When the Lord restores the well-being of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be happy!
