< 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
To the Chief Musician. David’s. The impious hath said in his heart—There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.
2 Dominus de caelo prospexit super filios hominum ut videat si est intellegens aut requirens Deum
Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, —to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring 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
The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, not so much as, one!
4 nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis
Are all the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? devouring my people [as] they devour food! Upon Yahweh, have they not called.
5 Dominum non invocaverunt illic trepidaverunt timore ubi non erat timor
There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.
6 quoniam Deus in generatione iusta consilium inopis confudistis quoniam Dominus spes eius est
The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.
7 quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israhel cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suae exultabit Iacob et laetabitur Israhel
Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.
