Psalms 14

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

(Til sangmesteren. Af David.) Dårerne siger i Hjertet: "Der er ingen Gud!" Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.

2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking 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 astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Afveget er alle, til Hobe fordærvet, ingen gør godt, end ikke een!

4 Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

Er alle de Udådsmænd da uden Forstand, der æder mit Folk, som åd de Brød, og ikke påkalder HERREN?

5 They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.

Af Rædsel gribes de da, thi Gud er i de retfærdiges Slægt.

6 For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.

Gør kun den armes Råd til Skamme, HERREN er dog hans Tilflugt.

7 Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.

Ak, kom dog fra Zion Israels Frelse! Når HERREN vender Folkets Skæbne, skal Jakob juble, Israel glædes!
