Psalms 14

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. A fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”; They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

Til Sangmesteren; af David. En Daare siger i sit Hjerte: Der er ingen Gud; fordærvelig, vederstyggelig er deres Gerning; der er ingen, som gør godt.

2 YHWH has looked from the heavens on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one—seeking God.

Herren saa ned fra Himmelen paa Menneskens Børn, at se, om der var nogen forstandig, nogen, som søgte Gud.

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

De ere alle afvegne, de ere fordærvede til Hobe; der er ingen, som gør godt, end ikke een.

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, They have not called YHWH.

Have de ikke kendt det, alle de, som gøre Uret, som æde mit Folk, som de aade Brød? de kaldte ikke paa Herren.

5 They have feared a fear there, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

Den Gang frygtede de saare, fordi Gud var med den retfærdiges Slægt.

6 You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, Because YHWH [is] his refuge.

Gører kun den elendiges Raad til Skamme; thi Herren er hans Tilflugt.

7 “Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion?” When YHWH turns back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!

Gid der fra Zion kom Frelse for Israel! Naar Herren tilbagefører sit fangne Folk, da skal Jakob fryde sig, Israel glæde sig.
