Zsoltárok 14

1 A karmesternek. Dávidtól. Azt mondta az aljas a szívében: Nincs Isten! Elvetemedtek, utálatosat cselekedtek; nincs, ki jót tenne.

Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.

2 Az Örökkévaló az égből tekintett le az emberfiakra, hogy lássa, van-e eszes, a ki Istent keresi.

The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

3 Mind elpártolt, egyaránt megromlottak; nincs, ki jót tenne, nincs egy sem.

They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

4 Nemde megtudják mind, a. kik jogtalanságot cselekszenek, kik népemet eszik, a mint kenyeret esznek, az Örökkévalót nem szólították!

Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?

5 Ott rettegve rettegtek, mert Isten az igaz nemzedék mellett van.

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

6 A szegénynek tanácsát megszégyeníthetitek; bízony, az Örökkévaló neki menedéke!

For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.

7 Vajha eljönne Cziónból Izraél segítsége; mikor az Örökkévaló visszahozza népének foglyait, vigadjon Jákób, örüljön Izraél.

Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
