Psalms 14

1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. The impious hath said in his heart—There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, 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 Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, —to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after 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 have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!

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

4 Are all the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? devouring my people [as] they devour food! Upon Yahweh, have they not called.

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

5 There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

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

6 The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

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

7 Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.

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