Psaumes 14
1 Au maître chantre. Cantique de David. Les impies ont dit en leur cœur: « Il n'y a point de Dieu. » Ils se sont corrompus, leurs œuvres sont abominables; il n'y a personne 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 L'Éternel examine des Cieux les enfants des hommes, pour voir s'il y a quelque homme raisonnable, 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 se sont révoltés, pervertis tous ensemble; il n'y a pas un homme qui fasse le bien, pas même un.
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 Ne se reconnaîtront-ils pas tous ces malfaiteurs, qui mangent mon peuple comme du pain? N'invoqueront-ils point l'Éternel?
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 Bientôt la terreur les saisira; 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 Déjouez les projets du misérable!… L'Éternel est son refuge.
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
7 Ah! si de Sion le salut venait sur Israël!… Que l'Éternel ramène les captifs de son peuple, et Jacob se réjouira, et Israël triomphera.
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.
