2 The LORD looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God. 3 Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one! 4 All those who behave wickedly do not understand--those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the LORD. 5 They are absolutely terrified, for God defends the godly. 6 You want to humiliate the oppressed, even though the LORD is their shelter. 7 I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the well-being of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be happy! Psalms 14:2-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
