< Psaumes 14 >

1 Au maître de chant. De David. L'insensé dit dans son cœur: " Il n'y a point de Dieu!... " Ils sont corrompus, ils commettent des actions abominables; il n'en est aucun qui fasse le bien.
For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
2 Yahweh, du haut des cieux regarde les fils de l'homme, pour voir s'il est quelqu'un de sage, quelqu'un qui cherche Dieu.
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
3 Tous sont égarés, tous ensemble sont pervertis; il n'en est pas un qui fasse le bien, pas un seul!
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
4 N'ont-ils pas de connaissance, tous ceux qui commettent l'iniquité? Ils dévorent mon peuple, comme ils mangent du pain; ils n'invoquent point Yahweh.
Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
5 Ils trembleront tout à coup d'épouvante, car Dieu est au milieu de la race juste.
There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
6 Vous voulez confondre les projets du malheureux! Mais Yahweh est son refuge.
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
7 Oh! puisse venir de Sion la délivrance d'Israël! Quand Yahweh ramènera les captifs de son peuple, Jacob sera dans la joie, Israël dans l'allégresse.
Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
