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.

Psalmus David, in finem. Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in studiis suis: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

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: —

Dominus de caelo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.

3 The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!

Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum: linguis suis dolose agebant, venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum. Quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est: veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt: non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.

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

Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

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

Dominum non invocaverunt, illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.

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

Quoniam Dominus in generatione iusta est, consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes eius est.

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.

Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israel? cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suae, exultabit Iacob, et laetabitur Israel.
