Psalms 14

1 [For the Chief Musician. By David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable works. There is none who does good.

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

2 Jehovah looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

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

3 They have all turned away. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

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

4 Have all evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call on Jehovah.

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

5 There they are utterly terrified, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

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

6 You would frustrate the plans of the lowly, but Jehovah is his refuge.

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

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When Jehovah restores the fortunes of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

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