Psalm 14
HCSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1For the choir director. Davidic. The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." They are corrupt; they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good. 1Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
2The LORD looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God. 2The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.
3All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one. 3But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!
4Will evildoers never understand? They consume My people as they consume bread; they do not call on the LORD. 4Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to the LORD.
5Then they will be filled with terror, for God is with those who are righteous. 5Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him.
6You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted, but the LORD is his refuge. 6The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people.
7Oh, that Israel's deliverance would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad. 7Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
