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.

To the victorie of Dauid. The vnwise man seide in his herte, God is not. Thei ben corrupt, and ben maad abhomynable in her studies; noon is that doith good, noon is til to oon.

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

The Lord bihelde fro heuene on the sones of men; that he se, if ony is vndurstondynge, ethir sekynge God.

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

Alle bowiden awei, togidere thei ben maad vnprofitable; noon is that doth good, noon is `til to oon. The throte of hem is an open sepulcre, thei diden gilefuli with her tungis; the venym of snakis is vndur her lippis. Whos mouth is ful of cursyng and bittirnesse; her feet ben swift to schede out blood. Sorewe and cursidnesse is in the weies of hem, and thei knewen not the weie of pees; the drede of God is not bifor her iyen.

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

Whether alle men that worchen wickidnesse schulen not knowe; that deuowren my puple, as mete of breed?

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

Thei clepeden not the Lord; thei trembliden there for dreed, where was no drede;

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

for the Lord is in a riytful generacioun. Thou hast schent the counsel of a pore man; for the Lord is his hope.

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

Who schal yyue fro Syon helthe to Israel? Whanne the Lord hath turned awei the caitifte of his puple; Jacob schal `fulli be ioiful, and Israel schal be glad.
