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.

Lo stolto pensa: «Non c'è Dio». Sono corrotti, fanno cose abominevoli: nessuno più agisce bene. Al maestro del coro. Di Davide.

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

Il Signore dal cielo si china sugli uomini per vedere se esista un saggio: se c'è uno che cerchi Dio.

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.

Tutti hanno traviato, sono tutti corrotti; più nessuno fa il bene, neppure uno.

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.

Non comprendono nulla tutti i malvagi, che divorano il mio popolo come il pane?

5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

Non invocano Dio: tremeranno di spavento, perché Dio è con la stirpe del giusto.

6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.

Volete confondere le speranze del misero, ma il Signore è il suo rifugio.

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.

Venga da Sion la salvezza d'Israele! Quando il Signore ricondurrà il suo popolo, esulterà Giacobbe e gioirà Israele.
