Psalms 14

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.

Au chef des chantres; de David. L’Insensé a dit en son cœur: "Il n’est point de Dieu!" On est corrompu, on commet des actes odieux, personne ne fait le bien.

2 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

L’Eternel, du haut du ciel, regarde les hommes, pour voir s’il en est de bien inspirés, recherchant Dieu.

3 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

Tous ils ont dévié, ensemble ils sont pervertis; personne n’agit bien, pas même un seul.

4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?

Eh bien! Ils s’en ressentiront, tous ces ouvriers d’iniquité, qui dévorent mon peuple comme on mange du pain, et n’invoquent point l’Eternel.

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

Dès lors, ils seront saisis d’épouvante, car Dieu est avec la race des justes.

6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.

Pensez-vous confondre les desseins du pauvre, alors que l’Eternel est son abri?

7 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.

Ah! puisse venir de Sion le salut d’Israël! Quand le Seigneur ramènera les captifs de son peuple, Jacob jubilera, Israël sera dans la joie.
