The Fool Says, There Is No God

14 To the choirmaster. Of David.

1  gThe hfool says in his heart, i“There is no God.”

They are jcorrupt, they do abominable deeds;

kthere is none who does good.

2  The Lord llooks down from heaven on the children of man,

to see if there are any who understand,1

who mseek after God.

3  They have all turned aside; together they have become ncorrupt;

there is none who does good,

not even one.

4  Have they no oknowledge, all the evildoers

who peat up my people as they eat bread

and qdo not call upon the Lord?

5  There they are in great terror,

for God is with rthe generation of the righteous.

6  You would shame the plans of the poor,

but2 the Lord is his srefuge.

7  Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

When the Lord trestores the fortunes of his people,

let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

15 A Psalm of David.

1  O Lord, uwho shall sojourn in your vtent?

Who shall dwell on your wholy hill?

2  He who xwalks blamelessly and ydoes what is right

and zspeaks truth in his heart;

3  who adoes not slander with his tongue

and does no evil to his neighbor,

nor btakes up a reproach against his friend;

4  cin whose eyes a vile person is despised,

but who honors those who fear the Lord;

who dswears to his own hurt and does not change;

5  who edoes not put out his money at interest

and fdoes not take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be gmoved.
