< Psalms 14 >

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.
(Til sangmesteren. Af David.) Dårerne siger i Hjertet: "Der er ingen Gud!" Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.
2 The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.
HERREN skuer ned fra Himlen på Menneskens Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.
3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.
Afveget er alle, til Hobe fordærvet, ingen gør godt, end ikke een!
4 Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.
Er alle de Udådsmænd da uden Forstand, der æder mit Folk, som åd de Brød, og ikke påkalder HERREN?
5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.
Af Rædsel gribes de da, thi Gud er i de retfærdiges Slægt.
6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.
Gør kun den armes Råd til Skamme, HERREN er dog hans Tilflugt.
7 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
Ak, kom dog fra Zion Israels Frelse! Når HERREN vender Folkets Skæbne, skal Jakob juble, Israel glædes!
