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.

In finem, Psalmus David. Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in studiis suis: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

2 The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.

Dominus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.

3 They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

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.

Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum: linguis suis dolose agebant, venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum. Quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est:

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

veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt:

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

non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.

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.

Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis? Dominum non invocaverunt, illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Dominus in generatione iusta est, consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes eius est. Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israel? cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suæ, exultabit Iacob, et lætabitur Israel.
