< 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.
Al maestro de coro. De David. El insensato dice en su corazón: “No hay Dios.” Se han pervertido; su conducta es abominable, ni uno solo obra 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.
Yahvé mira desde el cielo a los hijos de los hombres, para ver si hay quien sea inteligente y busque a Dios.
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.
Pero se han extraviado todos juntos y se han depravado. No hay uno que obre el bien, ni uno siquiera.
4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
¡Nunca entenderán, todos esos malhechores, que devoran a mi pueblo como quien come pan, sin acordarse de Dios para nada!
5 They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
Mas algún día temblarán de espanto, porque Dios está con la generación de los justos.
6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
Vosotros que despreciáis las ansias del desvalido, sabed que Dios es su refugio.
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.
¡Oh, venga ya de Sión la salud de Israel! Cuando cambie el Señor la suerte de su pueblo, saltarán de gozo Jacob, e Israel de alegría.
