TSK · Psalms 14:2

God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know."

who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren't clean according to the purification of the sanctuary."

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:

Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh. A Song. A Psalm by David.

You simple, understand prudence. You fools, be of an understanding heart.

"Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,

When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

"For my people are foolish, they don't know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."

Until Yahweh look down, and see from heaven.

for this people's heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.'

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
