Mga Awit 14

1Ang mangmang ay nagsabi sa kaniyang puso, walang Dios: sila'y nangapapahamak, sila'y nagsigawa ng kasuklamsuklam na mga gawa; walang gumagawa ng mabuti, 2Tinutunghan ng Panginoon ang mga anak ng mga tao mula sa langit, upang tingnan, kung may sinomang nakakaunawa, na hinahanap ng Dios. 3Silang lahat ay nagsihiwalay; sila'y magkakasama na naging kahalayhalay; walang gumagawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa. 4Wala bang kaalaman ang lahat na manggagawa ng kasamaan? na siyang nagsisikain sa aking bayan na tila nagsisikain ng tinapay, at hindi nagsisitawag sa Panginoon. 5Doo'y nangapasa malaking katakutan sila: sapagka't ang Dios ay nasa lahi ng matuwid. 6Inyong inilalagay sa kahihiyan ang payo ng dukha, sapagka't ang Panginoon ang kaniyang kanlungan. 7Oh kung ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay nanggagaling sa Sion! Kung ibabalik ng Panginoon ang nangabihag ng kaniyang bayan, magagalak nga ang Jacob, at masasayahan ang Israel.

1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is no one who does good. 2Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God. 3They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one. 4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh? 5There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge. 7Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

1Een psalm van David, voor den opperzangmeester. De dwaas zegt in zijn hart: Er is geen God. Zij verderven het, zij maken het gruwelijk met hun werk; er is niemand, die goed doet. 2De HEERE heeft uit den hemel nedergezien op de mensenkinderen, om te zien, of iemand verstandig ware, die God zocht. 3Zij zijn allen afgeweken, te zamen zijn zij stinkende geworden; er is niemand, die goed doet, ook niet een. 4Hebben dan alle werkers der ongerechtigheid geen kennis, die mijn volk opeten, alsof zij brood aten? Zij roepen den HEERE niet aan. 5Aldaar zijn zij met vervaardheid vervaard; want God is bij het geslacht des rechtvaardigen. 6Gijlieden beschaamt den raad des ellendigen, omdat de HEERE zijn Toevlucht is. 7Och, dat Israels verlossing uit Sion kwam! Als de HEERE de gevangenen Zijns volks zal doen wederkeren, dan zal zich Jakob verheugen, Israel zal verblijd zijn.
