Psalms 14

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 14 of 150

1 To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The foolish one has said in his heart, No God! They acted corruptly; they did abominably in deeds; Not one is doing good.

2 Jehovah looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind, to see if there was one considering and seeking God:

3 all have turned aside; together they are corrupt; not one is doing good, not even one!
