Psalm 14 - 15

For the choir director. Of David.

The wicked fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They act corruptly, they commit abominable deeds;

There is no one who does good.

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the sons of men

To see if there is anyone who has insight,

Anyone who seeks after God.

They have all turned aside, altogether they have become worthless;

There is no one who does good, not even one.

Do all the workers of iniquity not know,

Who eat up my people as they eat bread,

And do not call upon Yahweh?

There they are in great dread,

For God is with the righteous generation.

You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,

But Yahweh is his refuge.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!

When Yahweh restores His captive people,

May Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

A Psalm of David.

O Yahweh, who may sojourn in Your tent?

Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

He who walks blamelessly, and works righteousness,

And speaks truth in his heart.

He does not slander with his tongue,

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised,

But who honors those who fear Yahweh;

He swears to his own hurt and does not change;

He does not put out his money at interest,

Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things will never be shaken.
