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 have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

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

The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

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

They have all gone aside. 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 the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on the LORD?

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

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

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

You frustrate the plan 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 would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
