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.) Dårerne siger i Hjertet: "Der er ingen Gud!" Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen 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 skuer ned fra Himlen på Menneskens Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gør kun den armes Råd til Skamme, HERREN er dog 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!

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