< 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.
Isithutha sithi enhliziyweni yaso: KakulaNkulunkulu. Bonakele, benza imisebenzi eyenyanyekayo; kakho owenza okuhle.
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.
INkosi yakhangela phansi isemazulwini phezu kwabantwana babantu, ukubona ukuthi ukhona yini oqedisisayo, odinga uNkulunkulu.
3 They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Baphambukile bonke, bebonke bonakele; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho loyedwa.
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?'
Kabazi yini bonke abenza okubi, abadla abantu bami njengoba besidla isinkwa? Kabayibizi iNkosi.
5 There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.
Lapho besaba lokwesaba, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesizukulwaneni solungileyo.
6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.
Liliyangisile icebo lomyanga, ngoba iNkosi iyisiphephelo sakhe.
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.
Kungathi usindiso lukaIsrayeli lungavela eZiyoni! Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bayo, uJakobe uzathaba, uIsrayeli athokoze.
