Salmi 14

1 Lo stolto pensa: «Non c'è Dio». Sono corrotti, fanno cose abominevoli: nessuno più agisce bene. Al maestro del coro. Di Davide.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

2 Il Signore dal cielo si china sugli uomini per vedere se esista un saggio: se c'è uno che cerchi Dio.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

3 Tutti hanno traviato, sono tutti corrotti; più nessuno fa il bene, neppure uno.

They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

4 Non comprendono nulla tutti i malvagi, che divorano il mio popolo come il pane?

Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

5 Non invocano Dio: tremeranno di spavento, perché Dio è con la stirpe del giusto.

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

6 Volete confondere le speranze del misero, ma il Signore è il suo rifugio.

For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.

7 Venga da Sion la salvezza d'Israele! Quando il Signore ricondurrà il suo popolo, esulterà Giacobbe e gioirà Israele.

Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
