Psalm 14

Psalm 14:  It is not cited in the options for various Mass liturgies so no text is provided. "The lament (duplicated in Psalm 53) depicts the world as consisting of two types of people: “the fool” (equals the wicked, Psalm 14:1–3) and “the company of the just” (Psalm 14:4–6; also called “my people,” and “the poor”). The wicked persecute the just, but the Psalm expresses the hope that God will punish the wicked and reward the good." [1]
