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.
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 hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek 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 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.
Mereka semua telah menyeleweng, semuanya telah bejat; tidak ada yang berbuat baik, seorangpun tidak.
4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
Tidak sadarkah semua orang yang melakukan kejahatan, yang memakan habis umat-Ku seperti memakan roti, dan yang tidak berseru kepada TUHAN?
5 They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
Di sanalah mereka ditimpa kekejutan yang besar, sebab Allah menyertai angkatan yang benar.
6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
Kamu dapat mengolok-olok maksud orang yang tertindas, tetapi TUHAN adalah tempat perlindungannya.
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.
Ya, datanglah kiranya dari Sion keselamatan bagi Israel! Apabila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya, maka Yakub akan bersorak-sorak, Israel akan bersukacita.
