Psalms 14

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.

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

2 The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to 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 their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

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

4 Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.

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

5 Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.

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

6 The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.

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

7 If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.

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