Psalms 14

1 [Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say those things are corrupt/worthless; they do abominable/detestable deeds; there is not one [of them] who does what is good/right.

למנצח לדוד אמר נבל בלבו אין אלהים השחיתו התעיבו עלילה-- אין עשה-טוב

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, with the result that he desires [to know] God.

יהוה-- משמים השקיף על-בני-אדם לראות היש משכיל-- דרש את-אלהים

3 But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.

הכל סר יחדו נאלחו אין עשה-טוב--אין גם-אחד

4 Will those evil people never learn [what God will do to punish them] [RHQ]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

הלא ידעו כל-פעלי-און אכלי עמי אכלו לחם יהוה לא קראו

5 But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].

שם פחדו פחד כי-אלהים בדור צדיק

6 Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].

עצת-עני תבישו כי יהוה מחסהו

7 I wish/desire that [Yahweh] would come from Jerusalem [MTY] and rescue [us] Israeli people! Yahweh, when you bless your people again, all of us Israeli people, who are the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.

מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב יהוה שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל
