< Psaumes 14 >

1 Psaume de David, [donné] au maître chantre. L'insensé a dit en son cœur: il n'y a point de Dieu. Ils se sont corrompus, ils se sont rendus abominables en leurs actions; il n'y a personne qui fasse le bien.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
2 L'Eternel a regardé des cieux sur les fils des hommes, pour voir s'il y en a quelqu'un qui soit intelligent, [et] qui cherche Dieu.
The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
3 Ils se sont tous égarés, ils se sont tous ensemble rendus odieux, il n'y a personne qui fasse le bien, non pas même un seul.
They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
4 Tous ces ouvriers d'iniquité n'ont-ils point de connaissance? Ils mangent mon peuple [comme] s'ils mangeaient du pain, ils n'invoquent point l'Eternel.
Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
5 Là ils seront saisis d'une grande frayeur; car Dieu est avec la race juste.
They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
6 Vous faites honte à l'affligé de ce qu'il s'est proposé l'Eternel pour sa retraite.
For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
7 Ô! qui donnera de Sion la délivrance d'Israël! Quand l'Eternel aura ramené son peuple captif, Jacob s'égaiera, Israël se réjouira.
Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
