Psalms 14

1 To the victorie of Dauid. The vnwise man seide in his herte, God is not. Thei ben corrupt, and ben maad abhomynable in her studies; noon is that doith good, noon is til to oon.

【無神者最愚蠢】愚妄人心中說：沒有天主；他們喪盡天良，恣意作惡；行善的人實在找不到一個！

2 The Lord bihelde fro heuene on the sones of men; that he se, if ony is vndurstondynge, ethir sekynge God.

上主由高天俯視世人之子，察看有無尋覓天主的智者。

3 Alle bowiden awei, togidere thei ben maad vnprofitable; noon is that doth good, noon is `til to oon. The throte of hem is an open sepulcre, thei diden gilefuli with her tungis; the venym of snakis is vndur her lippis. Whos mouth is ful of cursyng and bittirnesse; her feet ben swift to schede out blood. Sorewe and cursidnesse is in the weies of hem, and thei knewen not the weie of pees; the drede of God is not bifor her iyen.

都離棄了正道，趨向邪惡：沒有一人行善，實在沒有一個。

4 Whether alle men that worchen wickidnesse schulen not knowe; that deuowren my puple, as mete of breed?

那些作奸犯科的人，吞我民如食饅頭；總不呼號上主的人，豈不是愚蠢胡塗？

5 Thei clepeden not the Lord; thei trembliden there for dreed, where was no drede;

他們必然要驚慌失措，因上主喜愛義人家族。

6 for the Lord is in a riytful generacioun. Thou hast schent the counsel of a pore man; for the Lord is his hope.

你們儘可鄙視貧苦者的主張，但上主卻要自作他們的保障。

7 Who schal yyue fro Syon helthe to Israel? Whanne the Lord hath turned awei the caitifte of his puple; Jacob schal `fulli be ioiful, and Israel schal be glad.

唯以色列人的救援來自熙雍! 一旦上主將自己民族的命運變更，雅各伯必將喜慶，以色列必將歡騰。
