< 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.
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 looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.
Dominus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.
3 They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt. Non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant. Venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum, quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est; veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt; non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.
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?'
Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
5 There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.
Dominum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.
6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.
Quoniam Dominus in generatione justa est: consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes ejus est.
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.
Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? Cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.
