< Psalms 14 >

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
Au maître de chant. De David. L'insensé dit dans son cœur: " Il n'y a point de Dieu!... " Ils sont corrompus, ils commettent des actions abominables; il n'en est aucun qui fasse le bien.
2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
Yahweh, du haut des cieux regarde les fils de l'homme, pour voir s'il est quelqu'un de sage, quelqu'un qui cherche Dieu.
3 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Tous sont égarés, tous ensemble sont pervertis; il n'en est pas un qui fasse le bien, pas un seul!
4 Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
N'ont-ils pas de connaissance, tous ceux qui commettent l'iniquité? Ils dévorent mon peuple, comme ils mangent du pain; ils n'invoquent point Yahweh.
5 They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
Ils trembleront tout à coup d'épouvante, car Dieu est au milieu de la race juste.
6 For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.
Vous voulez confondre les projets du malheureux! Mais Yahweh est son refuge.
7 Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
Oh! puisse venir de Sion la délivrance d'Israël! Quand Yahweh ramènera les captifs de son peuple, Jacob sera dans la joie, Israël dans l'allégresse.
