Mazmur 14

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

For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.

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

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

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

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

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

Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.

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

There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

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

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.

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

Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
