1(14) For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
2How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
3Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
4lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
5But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6You⌃ have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
6I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
