Psalmorum 14

1 In finem. Psalmus David. [Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in studiis suis; non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

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 Dominus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.

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

3 Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt. Non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant. Venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum, quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est; veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem. Contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum, et viam pacis non cognoverunt; non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.

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

4 Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?

5 Dominum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.

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

6 Quoniam Dominus in generatione justa est: consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes ejus est.

You frustrate the plan of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? Cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.]

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.
