Psalms 14

1 to/for to conduct to/for David to say foolish in/on/with heart his nothing God to ruin to abhor wantonness nothing to make: do 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 LORD from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

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

3 [the] all to turn aside: turn aside together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

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

4 not to know all to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread LORD not to call: call to

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

5 there to dread dread for God in/on/with generation righteous

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

6 counsel afflicted be ashamed for LORD refuge his

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

7 who? to give: if only! from Zion salvation Israel in/on/with to return: rescue LORD captivity people his to rejoice Jacob to rejoice 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!
