< 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 OVERSEER. BY DAVID. A fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”; They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.
2 Dominus de caelo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.
YHWH has looked from the heavens on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one—seeking 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.
The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.
4 Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, They have not called YHWH.
5 Dominum non invocaverunt, illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.
They have feared a fear there, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.
6 Quoniam Dominus in generatione iusta est, consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes eius est.
You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, Because YHWH [is] his refuge.
7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israel? cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suae, exultabit Iacob, et laetabitur Israel.
“Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion?” When YHWH turns back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!
