Foolishness and Wickedness of People.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

14 The fool has (A)said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts;
There is (B)no one who does good.
The Lord has (C)looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there are any who [a](D)understand,
Who (E)seek God.
They have all (F)turned aside, together they are corrupt;
There is (G)no one who does good, not even one.

Do all the workers of injustice (H)not know,
Who (I)devour my people as they eat bread,
And (J)do not call upon the Lord?
There they are in great dread,
For God is with a (K)righteous generation.
You would put to shame the plan of the poor,
But the Lord is his (L)refuge.

Oh, that (M)the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord (N)restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

  1. Psalm 14:2 Or act wisely

Los malos rechazan a Dios

SALMO 14 (13)

Himno de David.

14 Los necios piensan:
«Dios no existe».
Pero son gente corrompida,
todo lo que hacen es odioso;
¡ninguno de ellos hace lo bueno!

Dios, desde el cielo,
mira a hombres y a mujeres;
busca a alguien inteligente
que lo reconozca como Dios.
Pero no hay uno solo
que no se haya alejado de Dios;
no hay uno solo
que no se haya corrompido;
no hay uno solo
que haga el bien.

4-5 Ustedes, gente malvada,
que allí están, llenos de miedo;
que jamás buscan a Dios,
y que se hartan de comida
a costillas de mi pueblo,
debieran saber esto:
¡Dios está con los buenos!
Y aunque ustedes desbaratan
los planes de los humildes,
Dios es quien los protege.

¡Cómo quisiera yo que Dios
nos enviara desde Jerusalén
alguien que salve a nuestro pueblo!
¡Cuando Dios nos haga prosperar,
todos en Israel estaremos felices!

14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
