Psalm 14 14 Psalms Book 1 Douay-Rheims Bible The Fool Says There Is No God (Psalm 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17; Romans 3:9–20)
1 DRA Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.
2 DRA The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God. BSB BSB: The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3 DRA They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes. BSB BSB: All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4 DRA Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread? BSB BSB: Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.
5 DRA They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. BSB BSB: There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.
6 DRA For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope. BSB BSB: You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.
7 DRA Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad. BSB BSB: Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
