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.
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.
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.
Dominus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.
3 But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.
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.
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.
Nonne cognoscent omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
5 But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].
Dominum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor.
6 Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].
Quoniam Dominus in generatione justa est: consilium inopis confudistis, quoniam Dominus spes ejus est.
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.
Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? Cum averterit Dominus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.
