• Psalm 14:1-7
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 14 The foolish* one says in his heart:

      “There is no Jehovah.”+

      Their actions are corrupt, and their dealings are detestable;

      No one is doing good.+

       2 But Jehovah looks down from heaven on the sons of men

      To see whether anyone has insight, whether anyone is seeking Jehovah.+

       3 They have all turned aside;+

      They are all alike corrupt.

      No one is doing good,

      Not even one.

       4 Do none of the wrongdoers understand?

      They devour my people as if they were eating bread.

      They do not call on Jehovah.

       5 But they will be filled with great terror,+

      For Jehovah is with the generation of the righteous.

       6 You wrongdoers try to frustrate the plans of the lowly one,

      But Jehovah is his refuge.+

       7 O that Israel’s salvation may come from Zion!+

      When Jehovah gathers back his captive people,

      Let Jacob be joyful, let Israel rejoice.
