Псалтирь 14

1 Начальнику хора. Сказал безумец в сердце своем: “нет Бога”. Они развратились, совершили гнусные дела; нет делающего добро.

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 Господь с небес призрел на сынов человеческих, чтобы видеть, есть ли разумеющий, ищущий Бога.

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

3 Все уклонились, сделались равно непотребными; нет делающего добро, нет ни одного.

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 Неужели не вразумятся все, делающие беззаконие, съедающие народ мой, как едят хлеб, и не призывающие Господа?

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 Там убоятся они страха, ибо Бог в роде праведных.

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

6 Вы посмеялись над мыслью нищего, что Господь упование его.

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

7 “Кто даст с Сиона спасение Израилю!” Когда Господь возвратит пленение народа Своего, тогда возрадуется Иаков и возвеселится Израиль.

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.
