Psalms 14

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

Til Sangmesteren. Af David. Daarerne siger i Hjertet: »Der er ingen Gud!« Slet og afskyeligt handler de, ingen gør godt.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

HERREN skuer ned fra Himlen paa Menneskens Børn for at se, om der findes en forstandig, nogen, der søger Gud.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

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

4 Do they not know anything, those who commit iniquity, those who eat up my people as they eat bread, but who do not call on Yahweh?

Er alle de Udaadsmænd da uden Forstand, der æder mit Folk, som aad de Brød, og ikke paakalder HERREN?

5 They tremble with dread, for God is with the righteous assembly!

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

6 You want to humiliate the poor person even though Yahweh is his refuge.

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

7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When Yahweh brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!

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