Psalms 14

1 To the choirmaster of David he says a fool in heart his there not [is] a god they act corruptly they do abominably deed[s] there not [is one who] does good.

For the leader. Of David. Fools say in their heart, ‘There is no God.’ Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good.

2 Yahweh from heaven he looks down on [the] children of humankind to see ¿ [is] there [one who] acts prudently [one who] seeks God.

From heaven the Lord looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for God.

3 Everyone he turns aside all together they are corrupt there not [is one who] does good there not also [is] one.

But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

4 ¿ Not do they know all [those who] do wickedness [those who] devour people my they eat bread Yahweh not they call on.

Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

5 There - they fear a fear for God [is] with a generation righteous.

Sore afraid will they be; for God is among those who are righteous,

6 [the] plan of [the] poor You will put to shame for Yahweh [is] refuge his.

you may mock the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.

7 Who? will he give [will be] from Zion [the] deliverance of Israel when turns back Yahweh [the] captivity of people his let him rejoice Jacob let him be glad Israel.

If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When the Lord brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!
