Psalms 14

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.

Til Sangmesteren. Af David. Daarerne siger i Hjertet: »Der er ingen Gud!« Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.

2 The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

HERREN skuer ned fra Himlen paa Menneskens Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.

3 They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

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

4 'Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'

Er alle de Udaadsmænd da uden Forstand, der æder mit Folk, som aad de Brød, og ikke paakalder HERREN?

5 There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

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

6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

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

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

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