< Psaumes 14 >

1 Au chef des chantres; de David. L’Insensé a dit en son cœur: "Il n’est point de Dieu!" On est corrompu, on commet des actes odieux, personne ne fait 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 L’Eternel, du haut du ciel, regarde les hommes, pour voir s’il en est de bien inspirés, recherchant 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 ils ont dévié, ensemble ils sont pervertis; personne n’agit bien, pas même 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 Eh bien! Ils s’en ressentiront, tous ces ouvriers d’iniquité, qui dévorent mon peuple comme on mange du pain, et n’invoquent point l’Eternel.
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 Dès lors, ils seront saisis d’épouvante, car Dieu est avec la race des justes.
There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
6 Pensez-vous confondre les desseins du pauvre, alors que l’Eternel est son abri?
You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
7 Ah! puisse venir de Sion le salut d’Israël! Quand le Seigneur ramènera les captifs de son peuple, Jacob jubilera, Israël sera dans la joie.
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.
