Psalms 14

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Orang dungu berkata dalam hati, "Tidak ada Allah." Perbuatan mereka jahat dan keji tidak ada yang berbuat baik.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

Dari surga TUHAN memandang umat manusia untuk mencari orang bijak yang menyembah Dia.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Tetapi semua orang sudah menyeleweng dan bejat, tak ada seorang pun yang berbuat baik.

4 Do they not know anything, those who commit iniquity, those who eat up my people as they eat bread, but who do not call on Yahweh?

Kata TUHAN, "Tak sadarkah orang-orang jahat itu? Mereka hidup dengan merampasi umat-Ku dan tak pernah berdoa kepada-Ku."

5 They tremble with dread, for God is with the righteous assembly!

Orang jahat akan sangat ketakutan, sebab Allah melindungi orang yang taat kepada-Nya.

6 You want to humiliate the poor person even though Yahweh is his refuge.

Orang jahat mau merintangi orang miskin, tetapi TUHAN menjadi pelindungnya.

7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When Yahweh brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!

Semoga dari Sion datang keselamatan bagi Israel! Maka keturunan Yakub akan bersukacita bila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya.
