Psalms 14
1 For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dari Daud. Orang bebal berkata dalam hatinya: "Tidak ada Allah." Busuk dan jijik perbuatan mereka, tidak ada yang berbuat baik.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
TUHAN memandang ke bawah dari sorga kepada anak-anak manusia untuk melihat, apakah ada yang berakal budi dan yang mencari Allah.
3 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
Mereka semua telah menyeleweng, semuanya telah bejat; tidak ada yang berbuat baik, seorangpun tidak.
4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
Tidak sadarkah semua orang yang melakukan kejahatan, yang memakan habis umat-Ku seperti memakan roti, dan yang tidak berseru kepada TUHAN?
5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
Di sanalah mereka ditimpa kekejutan yang besar, sebab Allah menyertai angkatan yang benar.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
Kamu dapat mengolok-olok maksud orang yang tertindas, tetapi TUHAN adalah tempat perlindungannya.
7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
Ya, datanglah kiranya dari Sion keselamatan bagi Israel! Apabila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya, maka Yakub akan bersorak-sorak, Israel akan bersukacita.
