Sadness // Search Me. Know Me.

Psalm 14

To the choirmaster. Of David.

14:1   The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
    They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
    there is none who does good.
2   The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man,
    to see if there are any who understand,
    who seek after God.
3   They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
    there is none who does good,
    not even one.
4   Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers
    who eat up my people as they eat bread
    and do not call upon the LORD?
5   There they are in great terror,
    for God is with the generation of the righteous.
6   You would shame the plans of the poor,
    but the LORD is his refuge.
7   Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,
    let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
