תהילים 14

1 למנצח לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו התעיבו עלילה-- אין עשה-טוב

[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say those things are corrupt/worthless; they do abominable/detestable deeds; there is not one [of them] who does what is good/right.

2 יהוה-- משמים השקיף על-בני-אדם לראות היש משכיל-- דרש את-אלהים

Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, with the result that he desires [to know] God.

3 הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב--אין גם-אחד

But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.

4 הלא ידעו כל-פעלי-און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם יהוה לא קראו

Will those evil people never learn [what God will do to punish them] [RHQ]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

5 שם פחדו פחד כי-אלהים בדור צדיק

But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].

6 עצת-עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו

Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].

7 מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב יהוה שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל

I wish/desire that [Yahweh] would come from Jerusalem [MTY] and rescue [us] Israeli people! Yahweh, when you bless your people again, all of us Israeli people, who are the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.
