Psalmorum 14

1 Psalmus David, in finem. 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.

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

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

Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek 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 are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

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

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

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

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

6 Quoniam Dominus in generatione iusta est, consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes eius est.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.

7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israel? cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suae, exultabit Iacob, et laetabitur Israel.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
