Psalms 14

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

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

2 YHWH looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek Elohim.

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

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

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

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon YHWH.

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

5 There were they in great fear: for Elohim is in the generation of the righteous.

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

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because YHWH is his refuge.

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

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when YHWH bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

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