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.
Dem Vorsänger. Von David. Der Tor spricht in seinem Herzen: «Es ist kein Gott!» Sie begehen verderbliche und greuliche Handlungen; keiner ist, der Gutes tut.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
Der HERR schaut vom Himmel auf die Menschenkinder, daß er sehe, ob jemand so verständig sei und nach Gott frage;
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.
aber sie sind alle abgewichen und allesamt verdorben; keiner ist, der Gutes tut, auch nicht einer!
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.
Werden nicht alle Übeltäter erfahren, die mein Volk fressen, als äßen sie Brot, aber den HERRN nicht anrufen;
5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
werden sie es nicht dann mit Schrecken erfahren, daß Gott beim Geschlecht der Gerechten ist?
6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
Wollt ihr den Rat des Elenden zuschanden machen, da doch der HERR seine Zuflucht ist?
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.
Ach, daß das Heil Israels aus Zion käme! Wenn der HERR das Gefängnis seines Volkes wendet, so wird Jakob frohlocken und Israel sich freuen!
