Sòm 14

1 Pou direktè koral la; yon sòm David Moun fou a di nan kè l: “Nanpwen Bondye.” Yo konwonpi. Yo te fè zak abominab. Nanpwen ki fè sa ki bon.

For the music director. A psalm of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.

2 SENYÈ a te gade anba soti nan syèl la sou fis a lòm yo pou wè si genyen ki konprann, k ap chache Bondye.

The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.

3 Yo tout te vire akote. Ansanm yo te vin konwonpi. Nanpwen ki fè sa ki bon, pa menm youn.

They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

4 Èske tout malfektè inikite yo pa konnen, (sila) Ki manje pèp mwen yo tankou y ap manje pen an, san yo pa rele SENYÈ a?

Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.

5 La, yo nan gwo danje, paske Bondye rete avèk jenerasyon ki dwat la.

Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.

6 Nou meprize bezwen aflije a, men SENYÈ a se refij li.

The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.

7 O ke sali Israël la ta sòti nan Sion! Lè SENYÈ a restore pèp kaptif li a, Jacob va rejwi, e Israël va gen kè kontan.

If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
