Psalms 14
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref <To the chief music-maker. Of David.> The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.
2 Ref The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.
3 Ref They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.
4 Ref Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.
5 Ref Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.
6 Ref You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.
7 Ref May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
