Psalms 14

1 [Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say those things are corrupt/worthless; they do abominable/detestable deeds; there is not one [of them] who does what is good/right.

Til Sangmesteren; af David. En Daare siger i sit Hjerte: Der er ingen Gud; fordærvelig, vederstyggelig er deres Gerning; der er ingen, som gør godt.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, with the result that he desires [to know] God.

Herren saa ned fra Himmelen paa Menneskens Børn, at se, om der var nogen forstandig, nogen, som søgte Gud.

3 But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.

De ere alle afvegne, de ere fordærvede til Hobe; der er ingen, som gør godt, end ikke een.

4 Will those evil people never learn [what God will do to punish them] [RHQ]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

Have de ikke kendt det, alle de, som gøre Uret, som æde mit Folk, som de aade Brød? de kaldte ikke paa Herren.

5 But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].

Den Gang frygtede de saare, fordi Gud var med den retfærdiges Slægt.

6 Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].

Gører kun den elendiges Raad til Skamme; thi Herren er hans Tilflugt.

7 I wish/desire that [Yahweh] would come from Jerusalem [MTY] and rescue [us] Israeli people! Yahweh, when you bless your people again, all of us Israeli people, who are the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.

Gid der fra Zion kom Frelse for Israel! Naar Herren tilbagefører sit fangne Folk, da skal Jakob fryde sig, Israel glæde sig.
