Psalms 14

1 For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.

Dem Sangmeister. Von David. Der Thor spricht in seinem Herzen: Es ist kein Gott! Sie verderben, machten greulich ihr Tun. Da ist keiner, der Gutes tue.

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

Jehovah schaut vom Himmel auf des Menschen Söhne, daß Er sehe, ob einer verständig sei, nach Gott frage.

3 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

Alles ist abgewichen; allesamt sind sie unnütz! Da ist keiner, der Gutes tue, auch nicht einer!

4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.

Wissen nicht alle, die Unrecht tun, die mein Volk auffressen, wie man Brot ißt, aber nicht zu Jehovah rufen!

5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

Dort schauern sie mit Schauern; denn Jehovah ist im Geschlecht der Gerechten.

6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.

Ihr beschämt des Elenden Rat, daß Jehovah ist seine Zuversicht.

7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.

Wer gibt aus Zion das Heil Israels? Wenn Jehovah die Gefangenen Seines Volkes zurückführt, wird Jakob frohlocken, und Israel fröhlich sein!
