Psalms 14

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Orang dungu berkata dalam hati, "Tidak ada Allah." Perbuatan mereka jahat dan keji tidak ada yang berbuat baik.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

Dari surga TUHAN memandang umat manusia untuk mencari orang bijak yang menyembah Dia.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Tetapi semua orang sudah menyeleweng dan bejat, tak ada seorang pun yang berbuat baik.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Kata TUHAN, "Tak sadarkah orang-orang jahat itu? Mereka hidup dengan merampasi umat-Ku dan tak pernah berdoa kepada-Ku."

5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Orang jahat akan sangat ketakutan, sebab Allah melindungi orang yang taat kepada-Nya.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

Orang jahat mau merintangi orang miskin, tetapi TUHAN menjadi pelindungnya.

7 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Semoga dari Sion datang keselamatan bagi Israel! Maka keturunan Yakub akan bersukacita bila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya.
