Mazmur 14
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dari Daud. Orang bebal berkata dalam hatinya: "Tidak ada Allah." Busuk dan jijik perbuatan mereka, tidak ada yang berbuat baik.
For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
2 TUHAN memandang ke bawah dari sorga kepada anak-anak manusia untuk melihat, apakah ada yang berakal budi dan yang mencari Allah.
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
3 Mereka semua telah menyeleweng, semuanya telah bejat; tidak ada yang berbuat baik, seorangpun tidak.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
4 Tidak sadarkah semua orang yang melakukan kejahatan, yang memakan habis umat-Ku seperti memakan roti, dan yang tidak berseru kepada TUHAN?
Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
5 Di sanalah mereka ditimpa kekejutan yang besar, sebab Allah menyertai angkatan yang benar.
There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
6 Kamu dapat mengolok-olok maksud orang yang tertindas, tetapi TUHAN adalah tempat perlindungannya.
You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
7 Ya, datanglah kiranya dari Sion keselamatan bagi Israel! Apabila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya, maka Yakub akan bersorak-sorak, Israel akan bersukacita.
Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
