Psalms 14 {A Davidic Psalm{ The decadent one says in his heart, There is no Elohim. They have become corrupt and abhorrent with iniquitous deeds. There is no one doing good."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ The decadent one says in his heart, There is no Elohim. They have become corrupt and abhorrent with iniquitous deeds. There is no one doing good." ² Yahweh, He gazes down from the heavens on the sons of humanity, To see whether there is anyone acting intelligently, Anyone seeking after Elohim." ³ All withdraw aside; together they are spoiled. There is no one doing good; There is not even one. ⁴ Have they no knowledge, all those contrivers of lawlessness, Who are devouring My people as they would devour bread? They do not call upon Yahweh." ⁵ There they were afraid with awe. For Elohim is with the generation of the righteous one. ⁶ You evildoers would put to shame the counsel of the humble one, Yet Yahweh is his Refuge." ⁷ O that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion, When Yahweh will reverse the captivity of His people! Let Jacob exult! Let Israel rejoice!"
