Mazmur 14

1 Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Orang dungu berkata dalam hati, "Tidak ada Allah." Perbuatan mereka jahat dan keji tidak ada yang berbuat baik.

[For the Chief Musician. By David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable works. There is none who does good.

2 Dari surga TUHAN memandang umat manusia untuk mencari orang bijak yang menyembah Dia.

Jehovah looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

3 Tetapi semua orang sudah menyeleweng dan bejat, tak ada seorang pun yang berbuat baik.

They have all turned away. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Kata TUHAN, "Tak sadarkah orang-orang jahat itu? Mereka hidup dengan merampasi umat-Ku dan tak pernah berdoa kepada-Ku."

Have all evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call on Jehovah.

5 Orang jahat akan sangat ketakutan, sebab Allah melindungi orang yang taat kepada-Nya.

There they are utterly terrified, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Orang jahat mau merintangi orang miskin, tetapi TUHAN menjadi pelindungnya.

You would frustrate the plans of the lowly, but Jehovah is his refuge.

7 Semoga dari Sion datang keselamatan bagi Israel! Maka keturunan Yakub akan bersukacita bila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya.

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When Jehovah restores the fortunes of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
