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.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even 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 has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

3 tous se sont révoltés, pervertis tous ensemble; il n'y a pas un homme qui fasse le bien, pas même un.

They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness 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 they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

5 Bientôt la terreur les saisira; car Dieu est au milieu de la race juste.

They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.

6 Déjouez les projets du misérable!… L'Éternel est son refuge.

For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy 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 grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
