Psalms 14

1 To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

In finem. Psalmus David. [Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in studiis suis; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

Dominus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt. Non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant. Venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum, quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est; veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt; non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

5 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

Dominum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.

6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

Quoniam Dominus in generatione justa est: consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes ejus est.

7 'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!

Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? Cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.]
