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.

To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.

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

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

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

They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth 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 the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

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

There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

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

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [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 [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
