Psalm 14
World English Bible
For the Chief Musician. By David.
14 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt.
They have done abominable deeds.
There is no one who does good.
2 Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there were any who understood,
who sought after God.
3 They have all gone aside.
They have together become corrupt.
There is no one who does good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and don’t call on Yahweh?
5 There they were in great fear,
for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 You frustrate the plan of the poor,
because Yahweh is his refuge.
7 Oh 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.
诗篇 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神救護子民脫離愚頑世人(A)篇）
大衛的詩，交給詩班長。
14 愚頑人心裡說：“沒有 神。”
他們都是敗壞，行了可憎的事，
沒有一個行善的。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 耶和華從天上察看世人，
要看看有明慧的沒有，
有尋求 神的沒有。
3 人人都偏離了正道，一同變成污穢；
沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。
4 所有作惡的都是無知的嗎？
他們吞吃我的子民好像吃飯一樣，
並不求告耶和華。
5 他們必大大震驚，
因為 神在義人的群體中。
6 你們要使困苦人的計劃失敗，
但耶和華是他的避難所。
7 但願以色列的救恩從錫安而出；
耶和華給他子民帶來復興的時候（“耶和華給他子民帶來復興的時候”或譯：“耶和華把他被擄的子民帶回來的時候”），
雅各要快樂，以色列要歡喜。
Psalm 14
King James Version
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.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
7 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.
Psalm 14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 14[a]
A Lament over Widespread Corruption
1 For the leader. Of David.
I
The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
Their deeds are loathsome and corrupt;
not one does what is good.(A)
2 The Lord looks down from heaven
upon the children of men,(B)
To see if even one is wise,
if even one seeks God.(C)
3 All have gone astray;
all alike are perverse.
Not one does what is good,
not even one.(D)
II
4 Will these evildoers never learn?
They devour my people as they devour bread;(E)
they do not call upon the Lord.(F)
5 They have good reason, then, to fear;
God is with the company of the just.
6 They would crush the hopes of the poor,
but the poor have the Lord as their refuge.
III
7 (G)Oh, that from Zion might come
the salvation of Israel!
Jacob would rejoice, and Israel be glad
when the Lord restores his people![b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 14 The lament (duplicated in Ps 53) depicts the world as consisting of two types of people: “the fool” (equals the wicked, Ps 14:1–3) and “the company of the just” (Ps 14:4–6; also called “my people,” and “the poor”). The wicked persecute the just, but the Psalm expresses the hope that God will punish the wicked and reward the good.
- 14:7 Jacob…Israel…his people: the righteous poor are identified with God’s people.
