Psalms 14

1 For the Chief Musician. By David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

Bedak je rekel v svojem srcu: »Ni Boga.« Izprijeni so, počeli so gnusna dela, nikogar ni, ki dela dobro.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

Gospod je pogledal dol z neba na človeške otroke, da vidi, ali obstaja kdorkoli, ki je razumel in išče Boga.

3 They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Vsi so odšli vstran, vsi skupaj so postali pokvarjeni. Nikogar ni, ki dela dobro, ne, niti enega ni.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?

Mar vsi delavci krivičnosti nimajo spoznanja? Ki žro moje ljudstvo, kakor jedo kruh, pa ne kličejo h Gospodu?

5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Bili so v velikem strahu, kajti Bog je z rodom pravičnih.

6 You frustrate the plan of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

Sramotili ste nasvet siromašnega, zato ker je Gospod njegovo pribežališče.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Oh, da bi Izraelova rešitev duš prišla iz Siona! Ko Gospod privede nazaj ujete svojega ljudstva, se bo Jakob veselil in Izrael bo vesel.
