14
For the music director. A psalm of David.
1 Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.
2 The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.
3 They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.
4 Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.
5 Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.
6 The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.
7 If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
