Psalm 14
Douay-Rheims 1899
Chapter overview
Psalm 14 calls practical corruption foolish because it denies accountability through conduct. Widespread wrongdoing harms the poor, yet God is present with the righteous and remains their refuge and promised deliverer.
FollyCorruptionPoorRefuge
1A psalm of David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
3He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
4In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;
5He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
